In an eligibility group with two providers, what is the relationship between the providers?

When you have two providers in an eligibility group, their criteria are combined using OR, meaning the member is eligible if either provider’s conditions are satisfied. Think of it as the union of the two eligibility rules: you only need one of them to be met for eligibility to apply. If both are met, you still qualify, but meeting just one is enough. This is different from AND, where both providers’ criteria would have to be met; from XOR, where exactly one must be met (but not both); and from NOT, which would invert a condition. For example, if one provider covers anyone under 65 and the other covers a different criterion, a member who meets the under-65 rule qualifies through the first provider, even if they don’t meet the second provider’s rule. That’s why OR is the correct relationship.
