Coverage under prefix OEB

Medicaid

This prefix includes Medicaid managed care coverage. The BCBS plan administers Medicaid benefits on behalf of the state. Claims submission, prior authorization, and reimbursement rules may follow state Medicaid guidelines rather than the plan's standard commercial policies. Confirm the correct payer ID for Medicaid claims.

EPO

Under this EPO prefix, the member has no out-of-network coverage for routine care. However, unlike HMO plans, no referral is needed to see a specialist within the network. When billing, confirm the provider's network participation status with the plan before submitting the claim.

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.
