If a setting is configured at the HSD and payer levels, will the system use the setting at the payer level?

When a setting exists at both the HSD level and a specific payer level, the system uses the payer-level value because it is more specific to that payer. This precedence ensures that any payer-specific requirements or policies override the general default. In other words, the payer’s configuration takes priority over the HSD default. If the payer-level setting isn’t configured, the system will apply the HSD setting. If both are set but differ, the payer-level value wins.
