Payment to renumber Times cryptic (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reimbursement

'payment' is the definition.
(I know that reimbursement is a type of compensation)

'renumber times cryptic' is the wordplay.
'cryptic' is an anagram indicator (a cryptic or obscure order of the letters).
'renumber'+'times'='renumbertimes'
'renumbertimes' anagrammed gives 'REIMBURSEMENT'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for reimbursement that I've seen before include "Repayment (of money)" , "Compensation for money spent" , "Heel; dagger" , "Money to cover expenses already incurred" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
