Coverage under prefix OWC

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.

Traditional Indemnity

Under this indemnity prefix, the member has fee-for-service coverage. There is no provider network, no referral requirement, and no primary care physician gatekeeper. Claims are processed based on the plan's fee schedule. While less common than managed care plans, indemnity coverage is still offered by some BCBS companies.

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.
