Configuring a ________ relationship allows the invoice payer to be recorded as payer on the payment transaction.

Configuring a ________ relationship allows the invoice payer to be recorded as payer on the payment transaction.

• A. subpayer
• B. co-payer
• C. secondary payer
• D. primary payer

Answer: (A)

When a payment transaction needs to show who was billed on the invoice, the system uses payer relationships to determine who is recorded as the payer. Configuring a subpayer relationship designates an entity as an invoice payer within the account, so the payment transaction can be posted with that invoice payer as the payer. This is useful in setups where the entity billed on the invoice isn’t the same as the primary or main payer on the claim, such as when a third party or administrator pays on behalf of the primary payer. The other options describe different payer roles (two parties sharing responsibility, an additional payer under the policy, or the main payer) but do not automatically cause the invoice payer to be recorded on the payment transaction.
