Coverage under prefix PSV

Medicare Advantage

This prefix is associated with Medicare Advantage. MA plans combine hospital (Part A) and medical (Part B) coverage, and many include prescription drug coverage (Part D). When billing, confirm whether the plan uses the same payer ID for MA claims as for commercial claims, as many BCBS companies use separate IDs.

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.

EPO

Under this EPO prefix, the member has no out-of-network coverage for routine care. However, unlike HMO plans, no referral is needed to see a specialist within the network. When billing, confirm the provider's network participation status with the plan before submitting the claim.
