Coverage under prefix ECE

Traditional Indemnity

This is a traditional indemnity prefix. Unlike managed care plans (HMO, PPO, EPO), indemnity plans do not use provider networks. There are no referral requirements and no restrictions on which providers the member can see. Submit claims to the payer listed above for reimbursement at the plan's allowed rate.

EPO

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.

POS

POS coverage under this prefix operates on a tiered system. Tier 1 (in-network with referral) provides the highest coverage. Tier 2 (in-network without referral) provides moderate coverage. Tier 3 (out-of-network) provides the lowest coverage. Verify which tier applies before submitting the claim.
