Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Missouri
Missouri • High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), Medicare Advantage, POS
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 (MA) coverage means this member receives their Medicare benefits through a private BCBS plan rather than through original Medicare. MA plans may have different payer IDs and claims addresses than the commercial plan. Check with the payer to confirm the correct submission details for Medicare Advantage claims.
POS (Point of Service) plans combine features of HMO and PPO coverage. Members choose a primary care physician and can get referrals to see in-network specialists at lower cost, or self-refer to out-of-network providers at higher cost. Claims should include referral information when the member uses the in-network benefit level.
