Coverage under prefix N9J

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.

Traditional Indemnity

This prefix includes traditional indemnity coverage. Indemnity plans are the oldest form of health insurance and offer maximum provider choice with no network restrictions. Members pay a percentage of charges after meeting their deductible. Reimbursement is based on reasonable and customary rates for the service area.

HDHP

This prefix is associated with a High-Deductible Health Plan. HDHP members pay more out-of-pocket before insurance coverage begins. These plans are commonly paired with HSA or HRA accounts. When billing, be aware that the member may have significant cost-sharing responsibility until their annual deductible is satisfied.
