Coverage under prefix MCM

EPO

EPO coverage under this prefix means the member must use network providers but does not need referrals for specialist visits. This plan type is becoming more common as it offers lower premiums than PPO plans while providing more flexibility than HMOs. Verify network status before providing services.

PPO

This prefix is associated with a PPO plan. Preferred Provider Organization coverage gives members flexibility to see specialists without referrals and to use out-of-network providers at higher cost-sharing. Claims can be submitted for both in-network and out-of-network services, though reimbursement rates differ.

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.
