Coverage under prefix OTY

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.

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

This prefix is associated with an EPO plan. Exclusive Provider Organization coverage combines elements of HMO and PPO plans: members must stay in-network like an HMO, but can self-refer to specialists like a PPO. Out-of-network services are not covered except for emergencies.
