direct pay

No middleman compensation

Direct pay is a payment arrangement where one party pays another without an intermediary.

In healthcare, it often describes patients paying providers directly rather than through insurance: The clinic offers a discount for direct pay patients.

In payroll, it refers to wages deposited straight to an employee's account.

In government benefits, direct pay programs send payments to recipients without state-level administration.
