Traditional indemnity coverage under this prefix is a fee-for-service plan. Members can see any provider without network restrictions or referral requirements. The plan reimburses a set percentage of usual and customary charges. Claims are submitted directly to the payer listed above.
Under this HMO prefix, the member's coverage is limited to the plan's provider network. Care is coordinated through a primary care physician. Specialist visits require a referral from the PCP. When billing, confirm that the referring provider and the referral authorization number are included on the claim.
This is a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) prefix. PPO plans are the most common BCBS plan type. Members have the freedom to self-refer to specialists. Claims for in-network services are typically processed faster and reimbursed at higher rates than out-of-network claims.
