Coverage under prefix BZY

Medicare Advantage

This prefix includes Medicare Advantage coverage. MA plans follow CMS guidelines for timely filing (365 days from date of service), which may differ from the commercial plan's deadline. The payer ID for Medicare Advantage claims may differ from the standard commercial payer ID. Verify before submitting.

PPO

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.

HMO

This is a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) prefix. HMO plans have stricter routing requirements than PPO plans. Members select a PCP who manages their care and issues referrals. Claims for specialist services should include the referral number. Out-of-network claims will typically be denied unless emergency criteria are met.
