Coverage under prefix NEQ

EPO

EPO (Exclusive Provider Organization) plans require members to use in-network providers, similar to an HMO. The key difference is that referrals are usually not required to see a specialist. Out-of-network care is not covered except in emergency situations. Submit claims to the payer listed above.

Medicare Advantage

This prefix includes Medicare Advantage coverage. MA plans follow CMS guidelines for timely filing (365 days from date of service), which may differ from the commercial plan's deadline. The payer ID for Medicare Advantage claims may differ from the standard commercial payer ID. Verify before submitting.

HDHP

HDHP coverage under this prefix means the member carries a higher annual deductible in exchange for lower monthly premiums. Claims are processed normally but the member's cost-sharing will be higher than standard plans until the deductible is met. Preventive services are typically the exception and are covered at no cost to the member.
