Coverage under prefix NIU

Medicaid

Under this prefix, the member may have Medicaid coverage managed by this BCBS plan. Medicaid claims have specific rules around cost-sharing, balance billing, and timely filing that override the plan's standard commercial policies. Contact the plan's Medicaid provider services line for submission details.

Traditional Indemnity

Traditional indemnity coverage means the member has fee-for-service insurance with no network limitations. Any licensed provider can be seen without referrals. Claims are reimbursed based on usual, customary, and reasonable (UCR) charges. The member typically pays a deductible and a percentage of allowed charges.

POS

This is a Point of Service (POS) prefix. POS plans offer flexibility similar to a PPO but incentivize in-network care through lower cost-sharing. Members designate a primary care physician who can issue referrals for the highest level of benefits. Out-of-network claims are covered but at significantly reduced rates.
