payer
One who remits
A payer is someone who pays—for goods, services, or obligations.
In healthcare and insurance contexts, the payer is typically the entity that covers costs: Medicare is the primary payer for patients over 65.
The word distinguishes who bears financial responsibility from who receives payment (the payee).
