Coverage under prefix SFM

HDHP

This prefix is associated with a High-Deductible Health Plan. HDHP members pay more out-of-pocket before insurance coverage begins. These plans are commonly paired with HSA or HRA accounts. When billing, be aware that the member may have significant cost-sharing responsibility until their annual deductible is satisfied.

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.

Medicaid

Medicaid managed care under this BCBS prefix means the state has contracted with this plan to administer Medicaid benefits. Balance billing Medicaid members is prohibited. Timely filing requirements may follow state Medicaid rules rather than the plan's commercial deadlines. Contact the plan to confirm submission requirements.
