Multiple Choice

The secondary payer is called what?

Coordinate of benefits and payer sequencing: after the primary payer has processed and paid their portion, the remaining balance may be submitted to the secondary payer. In many billing references, this role is described as the crossover payer because the claim effectively crosses over from the primary payer to the secondary for any remaining liability. That’s why this label best fits the concept of the secondary payer in this context. The other terms describe different roles: the tertiary payer would come after the secondary, and the primary payer is the first to pay.
