How does Coordination of Benefits sequencing work when multiple payers are involved in Resolute?

Coordination of Benefits sequencing determines which payer pays first when more than one insurer is liable. In Resolute, the primary payer processes the claim first and pays up to its allowed amount. After that, the secondary payer covers the remaining allowed amount according to its policy. This ensures the service is billed in the correct order and avoids overpayment, with patient responsibility assessed after both payers have contributed as allowed. For example, if the primary payer covers $80 of a $100 charged service, the secondary payer will handle the remaining $20 in line with its coverage rules, and any leftover balance would be billed to the patient if not covered.
