Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield
Oregon/Idaho/Utah/Washington • POS, HDHP, Medicaid Managed Care
POS (Point of Service) plans combine features of HMO and PPO coverage. Members choose a primary care physician and can get referrals to see in-network specialists at lower cost, or self-refer to out-of-network providers at higher cost. Claims should include referral information when the member uses the in-network benefit level.
This prefix is associated with a High-Deductible Health Plan. HDHP members pay more out-of-pocket before insurance coverage begins. These plans are commonly paired with HSA or HRA accounts. When billing, be aware that the member may have significant cost-sharing responsibility until their annual deductible is satisfied.
Medicaid coverage under this prefix means the member's Medicaid benefits are administered by a BCBS managed care plan. Medicaid managed care claims may have different submission requirements, payer IDs, and timely filing deadlines than commercial claims. Verify the specific Medicaid plan details with the payer.
