Where can the invoice number needed for posting be found?

The payment posting relies on the payer’s detailed payment advice. The remittance advice is the document you use to map a payment to the exact invoice or claim that was paid. It lists the invoice/claim references and the amount paid, along with any adjustments, so you can accurately apply the payment to the correct line item on the provider’s account. Payer records contain internal data but aren’t the standard source for posting references. A check stub might show payment details, but it isn’t the primary source that consistently links to the invoiced items. An explanation of benefits describes the patient’s benefits and what was paid, but it doesn’t reliably provide the specific invoice reference used for posting.
