Multiple Choice

Settings at the plan level override settings at the _________.

Plan-level settings take precedence over payer-level settings because a specific plan defines the member’s exact benefits within the payer’s overall policy. When a plan differs from the payer-wide rule, the plan’s rule applies for members enrolled in that plan. For example, a payer might require pre-authorization for a service, but a particular plan under that payer could waive that requirement or impose a different one; the plan rule governs in that member’s claim processing. This is why the correct fill-in is the payer level. The other levels aren’t the standard override boundary in this context, as they don’t represent the broader-to-narrow policy relationship described here.
