Routing Rules: When multiple routing rules are listed it's an AND relationship between the rule (BWR) records.

In routing logic, when several routing rules are listed, all the conditions must be satisfied for the routing decision to apply. This is an AND relationship because each rule introduces another requirement, and only when every rule is true does the system route the claim to its destination. Think of it like: one rule might say the payer must be X, another says the service type must be Y, and another says the date must be after Z. The claim only routes when payer is X AND service type is Y AND date is after Z. If any one rule isn’t met, the route doesn’t fire. Why the other relationships aren’t correct: an OR relationship would route if any single rule is met, which is more permissive and not what’s described. XOR would require exactly one of the rules to be true, not all. None isn’t consistent with the given statement. Thus, the correct interpretation is an AND relationship.
