Coverage under prefix IHZ

POS

Under this POS prefix, the member can access care both in-network and out-of-network, with cost-sharing that varies based on how the care is accessed. In-network care coordinated through the member's PCP has the lowest out-of-pocket cost. Include referral documentation when billing at the in-network benefit level.

Medicaid

Under this prefix, the member may have Medicaid coverage managed by this BCBS plan. Medicaid claims have specific rules around cost-sharing, balance billing, and timely filing that override the plan's standard commercial policies. Contact the plan's Medicaid provider services line for submission details.

HDHP

Under this HDHP prefix, the member's plan has a higher deductible than traditional coverage. This affects patient cost-sharing but does not change how claims are submitted or processed. Use the same payer ID, claims address, and filing procedures listed above. Verify the member's remaining deductible before estimating patient responsibility.
