Is there a way to use a conditional when declaring method variables?

Maybe I am missing the correct language to describe this, but I am trying to utilize a pre-existing method with a different BO than currently passed.

I guess it would be something like:

public override SetInsurance(BusinessObjects.Utilities.LandViewer Viewer_land || BusinessObjects.Utilities.SeaViewer Viewer_sea, DataTable patient, int InsurancePriority)
{
}

Any help is appreciated as this might just not exist.

*//Note that these BOs are 95 percent similar but combining them is not an option in our codebase.

You should take the bits that are 95% similar (or at least the bits you'd like to use in this and other methods that can work with either type), and put them in an interface, say interface IViewer. Have both LandViewer and SeaViewer implement that interface, and have the method take it, eg:

interface IViewer {
    string Name {get;set;}
}

class LandViewer: IViewer {
    public string Name {get;set;}
    public int SomeValue;
}
class SeaViewer: IViewer {
    public string Name {get;set;}
    public string SomeOtherValue;
}

public override SetInsurance(IViewer viewer, DataTable patient, int InsurancePriority) {
    Console.WriteLine(viewer.Name); //.Name is accessible as it's part of the 95%

    // .SomeValue and .SomeOtherValue are not accessible, because they're not part of the 95% 
}
