Alternate Payer configuration is used to route what portion of charges?

Alternate Payer configuration defines which charges are sent to a different payer than the primary. It’s used when only part of the patient’s charges fall under an alternate payer (such as a secondary insurance, workers’ comp, or auto liability). By setting criteria, only those eligible charges or accounts are routed to the alternate payer, while the remaining charges stay with the primary payer. That makes routing a subset of charges or accounts the correct concept. The other options would imply routing all charges, only primary charges, or only patient payments, which doesn’t reflect how alternate payer routing works.
