Coverage under prefix A7E

EPO

EPO coverage under this prefix means the member must use network providers but does not need referrals for specialist visits. This plan type is becoming more common as it offers lower premiums than PPO plans while providing more flexibility than HMOs. Verify network status before providing services.

Traditional Indemnity

This prefix includes traditional indemnity coverage. Indemnity plans are the oldest form of health insurance and offer maximum provider choice with no network restrictions. Members pay a percentage of charges after meeting their deductible. Reimbursement is based on reasonable and customary rates for the service area.

Medicaid

This prefix includes Medicaid managed care coverage. The BCBS plan administers Medicaid benefits on behalf of the state. Claims submission, prior authorization, and reimbursement rules may follow state Medicaid guidelines rather than the plan's standard commercial policies. Confirm the correct payer ID for Medicaid claims.
