Which component translates the remittance file sent by a payer?

• A. RMO
• B. RMC
• C. Bank
• D. Invoice

Answer: (A)

Translating the remittance file means turning the payer’s payment data into the system’s internal format so payments can be matched to the correct claims and posted to the right patient accounts. The RMO is responsible for this translation, reading the payer’s remittance, extracting the payment amount, date, patient or account identifiers, and any adjustments, and mapping those details to the corresponding claims inside the system. This enables accurate posting and reconciliation of payments. The bank is just the transmission channel for the file, not its interpretation. An invoice is the provider’s bill, not the remittance from the payer. The RMC may handle other remittance-related tasks, but it isn’t the component that translates the remittance data.
