The payer represents what?

In hospital billing, the payer is the entity responsible for paying the claim, typically the insurance company or government program covering the patient. For a given encounter, the payer represents a single insurance company that adjudicates and reimburses the services. It isn’t the policyholder—the person insured—nor a network entity, and it isn’t a group of insurers. (Note: in cases of dual coverage there can be primary and secondary payers, but for a single claim the payer is one insurance company.)
