Coverage under prefix JOK

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.

PPO

Under this PPO prefix, members are covered for both in-network and out-of-network care. The plan pays a higher percentage of allowed charges when members use participating providers. No gatekeeper or primary care referral is required. Verify the member's specific benefits for cost-sharing details.

Traditional Indemnity

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.
