Nebraska • Traditional Indemnity, EPO, High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP)
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.
This prefix is associated with an EPO plan. Exclusive Provider Organization coverage combines elements of HMO and PPO plans: members must stay in-network like an HMO, but can self-refer to specialists like a PPO. Out-of-network services are not covered except for emergencies.
HDHP (High-Deductible Health Plan) coverage means the member has a higher deductible than traditional plans, often paired with a Health Savings Account (HSA). Most services require the member to pay out-of-pocket until the deductible is met. Preventive care is typically covered before the deductible. Submit claims normally to the payer listed above.
