Which configuration would you use to route behavioral health claims to Red Oak based on the patient's insurer?

Alternate payer routing is used when a claim should be submitted to a payer other than the primary based on the insured’s payer on file. In this case, you route behavioral health claims to Red Oak depending on the patient’s insurer, so those services are adjudicated by the payer specialized for behavioral health benefits. This keeps behavioral health billing aligned with the appropriate payer rules and pricing, separate from the standard medical claims flow. The other options don’t fit because the primary payer would always submit to the main insurer, cross-over routing applies to automatic transfers between payers in dual-eligibility scenarios rather than routing by insurer, and remittance routing deals with where you receive payment notices rather than where you submit the claim.
