Coverage under prefix NFC

HDHP

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.

HMO

This is a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) prefix. HMO plans have stricter routing requirements than PPO plans. Members select a PCP who manages their care and issues referrals. Claims for specialist services should include the referral number. Out-of-network claims will typically be denied unless emergency criteria are met.

POS

Under this POS prefix, the member can access care both in-network and out-of-network, with cost-sharing that varies based on how the care is accessed. In-network care coordinated through the member's PCP has the lowest out-of-pocket cost. Include referral documentation when billing at the in-network benefit level.
