Coverage under prefix EIX

Traditional Indemnity

Traditional indemnity coverage under this prefix is a fee-for-service plan. Members can see any provider without network restrictions or referral requirements. The plan reimburses a set percentage of usual and customary charges. Claims are submitted directly to the payer listed above.

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.

HDHP

This is a High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) prefix. These plans have minimum deductible thresholds set by the IRS. Members often use HSA funds to cover out-of-pocket costs. The plan's claims processing and payer ID are the same as the standard plan, but expect higher patient responsibility amounts on remittance.
