Coverage under prefix KGS

HDHP

HDHP (High-Deductible Health Plan) coverage means the member has a higher deductible than traditional plans, often paired with a Health Savings Account (HSA). Most services require the member to pay out-of-pocket until the deductible is met. Preventive care is typically covered before the deductible. Submit claims normally to the payer listed above.

Medicare Advantage

Under this prefix, the member may have Medicare Advantage coverage administered by this BCBS plan. MA claims are subject to CMS regulations in addition to the plan's own policies. Balance billing restrictions apply. Verify the member's specific MA plan details and confirm the correct payer ID for electronic submission.

PPO

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.
