Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield
Oregon/Idaho/Utah/Washington • HMO, Traditional Indemnity, Medicaid
This prefix is linked to an HMO plan. Health Maintenance Organization coverage requires members to use in-network providers and coordinate care through a designated primary care physician. Referrals are typically required for specialist visits. Claims submitted without proper referral documentation may be denied.
Traditional indemnity coverage means the member has fee-for-service insurance with no network limitations. Any licensed provider can be seen without referrals. Claims are reimbursed based on usual, customary, and reasonable (UCR) charges. The member typically pays a deductible and a percentage of allowed charges.
This prefix includes Medicaid managed care coverage. The BCBS plan administers Medicaid benefits on behalf of the state. Claims submission, prior authorization, and reimbursement rules may follow state Medicaid guidelines rather than the plan's standard commercial policies. Confirm the correct payer ID for Medicaid claims.
