Coverage under prefix P5L

Traditional Indemnity

Traditional indemnity coverage under this prefix is a fee-for-service plan. Members can see any provider without network restrictions or referral requirements. The plan reimburses a set percentage of usual and customary charges. Claims are submitted directly to the payer listed above.

HDHP

This prefix is associated with a High-Deductible Health Plan. HDHP members pay more out-of-pocket before insurance coverage begins. These plans are commonly paired with HSA or HRA accounts. When billing, be aware that the member may have significant cost-sharing responsibility until their annual deductible is satisfied.

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.
