Coverage under prefix OEA

PPO

Under this PPO prefix, members are covered for both in-network and out-of-network care. The plan pays a higher percentage of allowed charges when members use participating providers. No gatekeeper or primary care referral is required. Verify the member's specific benefits for cost-sharing details.

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.

Medicare Advantage

Medicare Advantage (MA) coverage means this member receives their Medicare benefits through a private BCBS plan rather than through original Medicare. MA plans may have different payer IDs and claims addresses than the commercial plan. Check with the payer to confirm the correct submission details for Medicare Advantage claims.
