Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kentucky
Kentucky • EPO, Traditional Indemnity, PPO
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.
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.
This is a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) prefix. PPO plans are the most common BCBS plan type. Members have the freedom to self-refer to specialists. Claims for in-network services are typically processed faster and reimbursed at higher rates than out-of-network claims.
