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.
Medicaid coverage under this prefix means the member's Medicaid benefits are administered by a BCBS managed care plan. Medicaid managed care claims may have different submission requirements, payer IDs, and timely filing deadlines than commercial claims. Verify the specific Medicaid plan details with the payer.
EPO coverage under this prefix means the member must use network providers but does not need referrals for specialist visits. This plan type is becoming more common as it offers lower premiums than PPO plans while providing more flexibility than HMOs. Verify network status before providing services.
