Each service line on a remit has a “Next Payer” column.
If the patient has a secondary (or tertiary) payer on the claim, then that next payer’s name will show when posting the remit from the previous payer, primary or secondary. Otherwise the Next Payer will be “Patient”.
This extra information can help inform you who the next responsible party is or identify if a patient’s secondary payer has not been added.
