Coverage under prefix UFS

EPO

EPO (Exclusive Provider Organization) plans require members to use in-network providers, similar to an HMO. The key difference is that referrals are usually not required to see a specialist. Out-of-network care is not covered except in emergency situations. Submit claims to the payer listed above.

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.

POS

This prefix is linked to a POS plan. Point of Service coverage gives members a choice at the time of service: use the HMO-style in-network benefit with a referral for lower costs, or access out-of-network providers at reduced coverage levels. The billing approach depends on which option the member chooses.
