Payer Information includes which element?

Payer Information includes which element?

• A. Type of Bill
• B. Insurer name
• C. Patient's address
• D. Revenue codes

Answer: (B)

Payer information is the data that identifies who will pay and handle the claim. The insurer name is the focal piece here because it directly names the payer responsible for processing and adjudicating the claim, along with related billing references. Type of Bill indicates the claim’s billing purpose (such as initial, replacement, or void) and helps processing, but it isn’t about who pays. A patient’s address belongs to patient demographics, not the payer. Revenue codes describe service locations and departments for line-item billing, not payer identity.
