Which statement describes the system behavior regarding matching remittances when a secondary payer is involved?

• A. The system will automatically match the secondary remittance to the secondary insurance bucket.
• B. The system will automatically match the secondary remittance to the primary bucket.
• C. The system will hold the remittance for manual review.
• D. The system will reject the remittance.

Answer: (A)

When a secondary payer is involved, the system’s matching logic routes the secondary remittance to the secondary insurance bucket automatically. This separation keeps primary and secondary payments distinct so reconciliation, posting, and reporting stay accurate for each payer level. Routing to the primary bucket would misallocate funds and complicate the accounts, while holding for manual review would slow posting and isn’t the standard default when data is clean. Rejection would indicate a problem requiring intervention, not the normal automated behavior.
