Coverage under prefix IFP

Medicaid

Medicaid coverage under this prefix means the member's Medicaid benefits are administered by a BCBS managed care plan. Medicaid managed care claims may have different submission requirements, payer IDs, and timely filing deadlines than commercial claims. Verify the specific Medicaid plan details with the payer.

POS

This prefix is linked to a POS plan. Point of Service coverage gives members a choice at the time of service: use the HMO-style in-network benefit with a referral for lower costs, or access out-of-network providers at reduced coverage levels. The billing approach depends on which option the member chooses.

HDHP

This prefix is associated with a High-Deductible Health Plan. HDHP members pay more out-of-pocket before insurance coverage begins. These plans are commonly paired with HSA or HRA accounts. When billing, be aware that the member may have significant cost-sharing responsibility until their annual deductible is satisfied.
