Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Indiana
Indiana • HMO, EPO, High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP)
Under this HMO prefix, the member's coverage is limited to the plan's provider network. Care is coordinated through a primary care physician. Specialist visits require a referral from the PCP. When billing, confirm that the referring provider and the referral authorization number are included on the claim.
Under this EPO prefix, the member has no out-of-network coverage for routine care. However, unlike HMO plans, no referral is needed to see a specialist within the network. When billing, confirm the provider's network participation status with the plan before submitting the claim.
HDHP coverage under this prefix means the member carries a higher annual deductible in exchange for lower monthly premiums. Claims are processed normally but the member's cost-sharing will be higher than standard plans until the deductible is met. Preventive services are typically the exception and are covered at no cost to the member.
