Coverage under prefix RBY

Medicaid

Under this prefix, the member may have Medicaid coverage managed by this BCBS plan. Medicaid claims have specific rules around cost-sharing, balance billing, and timely filing that override the plan's standard commercial policies. Contact the plan's Medicaid provider services line for submission details.

EPO

This prefix is associated with an EPO plan. Exclusive Provider Organization coverage combines elements of HMO and PPO plans: members must stay in-network like an HMO, but can self-refer to specialists like a PPO. Out-of-network services are not covered except for emergencies.

Traditional Indemnity

This is a traditional indemnity prefix. Unlike managed care plans (HMO, PPO, EPO), indemnity plans do not use provider networks. There are no referral requirements and no restrictions on which providers the member can see. Submit claims to the payer listed above for reimbursement at the plan's allowed rate.
