When registering a payer, the system requires linking the Payer (EPM) to a Plan (EPP). The Plan provides the plan-level context under that payer, defining which insurance plan and its rules apply. This linkage is what makes the payer valid to select in Registration because it ties the payer to a specific policy scenario, ensuring correct claim routing and eligibility/benefit handling. Without attaching a Plan (EPP), the payer has no plan context and cannot be properly selected.

Alternate Payer ID is simply an additional identifier for the same payer, not the mechanism that creates the necessary plan linkage. Payment Schedule concerns when payments occur, not which payer is active in Registration. Coverage Code denotes the type of coverage, but it does not establish the required payer-plan relationship needed for registration.
