Coverage under prefix IJS

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.

Traditional Indemnity

This prefix includes traditional indemnity coverage. Indemnity plans are the oldest form of health insurance and offer maximum provider choice with no network restrictions. Members pay a percentage of charges after meeting their deductible. Reimbursement is based on reasonable and customary rates for the service area.

EPO

This is an Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO) prefix. EPO plans do not cover out-of-network care except in genuine emergencies. Members can see any in-network specialist without a referral from their primary care physician. Claims for out-of-network non-emergency services will be denied.
