Coverage under prefix RTG

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.

HDHP

Under this HDHP prefix, the member's plan has a higher deductible than traditional coverage. This affects patient cost-sharing but does not change how claims are submitted or processed. Use the same payer ID, claims address, and filing procedures listed above. Verify the member's remaining deductible before estimating patient responsibility.

PPO

PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plans allow members to visit any healthcare provider without a referral. In-network providers cost less, but out-of-network care is still covered at a reduced rate. When billing for a PPO plan, submit claims directly to the payer listed above. No referral documentation is needed.
