Coverage under prefix PBC

Medicare Advantage

This prefix includes Medicare Advantage coverage. MA plans follow CMS guidelines for timely filing (365 days from date of service), which may differ from the commercial plan's deadline. The payer ID for Medicare Advantage claims may differ from the standard commercial payer ID. Verify before submitting.

EPO

EPO (Exclusive Provider Organization) plans require members to use in-network providers, similar to an HMO. The key difference is that referrals are usually not required to see a specialist. Out-of-network care is not covered except in emergency situations. Submit claims to the payer listed above.

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.
