POS (Point of Service) plans combine features of HMO and PPO coverage. Members choose a primary care physician and can get referrals to see in-network specialists at lower cost, or self-refer to out-of-network providers at higher cost. Claims should include referral information when the member uses the in-network benefit level.
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.
Medicare Advantage (MA) coverage means this member receives their Medicare benefits through a private BCBS plan rather than through original Medicare. MA plans may have different payer IDs and claims addresses than the commercial plan. Check with the payer to confirm the correct submission details for Medicare Advantage claims.
