The order can matter if the co-payments on different bills are at different rates,As others have stated, it's done by processing date, not event date. Why would the order matter?
For example, suppose that your plan charges 10% co-insurance in network once you have met your deductible, and 20% out of network. You are $200 under your deductible, and an out-of-network doctor bills you $200 for a visit and orders $200 of tests at an in-network lab. If the lab bill is processed first, you pay $200 for that, and then $40 for the out-of-network doctor visit. If the doctor bill is processed first, you pay $200 for that, and then $20 for the in-network lab.
But in neither case will you pay $400.
