Coverage under prefix KPM

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.

PPO

PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plans allow members to visit any healthcare provider without a referral. In-network providers cost less, but out-of-network care is still covered at a reduced rate. When billing for a PPO plan, submit claims directly to the payer listed above. No referral documentation is needed.

EPO

This prefix is associated with an EPO plan. Exclusive Provider Organization coverage combines elements of HMO and PPO plans: members must stay in-network like an HMO, but can self-refer to specialists like a PPO. Out-of-network services are not covered except for emergencies.
