Coverage under prefix UGA

HMO

HMO coverage means this member must use providers within the plan's network. A primary care physician serves as the care coordinator and must authorize specialist referrals. Emergency services are the primary exception to the network requirement. Always verify referral status before providing non-emergency specialty care.

EPO

EPO coverage under this prefix means the member must use network providers but does not need referrals for specialist visits. This plan type is becoming more common as it offers lower premiums than PPO plans while providing more flexibility than HMOs. Verify network status before providing services.

HDHP

HDHP (High-Deductible Health Plan) coverage means the member has a higher deductible than traditional plans, often paired with a Health Savings Account (HSA). Most services require the member to pay out-of-pocket until the deductible is met. Preventive care is typically covered before the deductible. Submit claims normally to the payer listed above.
