When posting, the invoice number acts as the identifier for the claim, not as a limit to one payer. If a secondary payer’s remittance comes with the primary payer’s invoice number, you can apply that payment against the secondary payer using the same invoice reference. This keeps the claim tied together in the patient account, showing that the secondary payer contributed toward the same service line identified by that invoice. There’s no need for date matching or supervisor approval in this scenario because the reference is the claim linkage, and the remittance indicates the payment is for the same services.
