Medicare Advantage coverage under this prefix means the plan administers Medicare Part A and Part B benefits on behalf of CMS. These claims may have different processing rules than commercial claims, including different prior authorization requirements and appeal timelines. CMS timely filing rules (365 days) typically apply.
Under this PPO prefix, members are covered for both in-network and out-of-network care. The plan pays a higher percentage of allowed charges when members use participating providers. No gatekeeper or primary care referral is required. Verify the member's specific benefits for cost-sharing details.
This is an Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO) prefix. EPO plans do not cover out-of-network care except in genuine emergencies. Members can see any in-network specialist without a referral from their primary care physician. Claims for out-of-network non-emergency services will be denied.
