Where can you update payer insurance billing settings?

• A. Hospital System Definition
• B. Masterfile Maintenance, Payor
• C. Payer Portal Settings
• D. Claims Reconciliation Screen

Answer: (B)

Payer-specific billing settings are stored in the payer master data, so the place to update them is Masterfile Maintenance, Payor. This area holds each payer’s essential billing configurations—like payer ID, electronic submission preferences, remit/EDI settings, and other payer-specific rules that control how claims are submitted and payments are processed. Updating here ensures the system uses the correct payer-specific logic during claims submission and remittance processing. The other areas don’t fit because Hospital System Definition covers broad, system-wide setup rather than individual payer rules; Payer Portal Settings relate to accessing payer portals rather than internal billing configurations; and the Claims Reconciliation Screen is used for post-submission reconciliation, not for configuring payer billing details.
