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.
This is a Point of Service (POS) prefix. POS plans offer flexibility similar to a PPO but incentivize in-network care through lower cost-sharing. Members designate a primary care physician who can issue referrals for the highest level of benefits. Out-of-network claims are covered but at significantly reduced rates.
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.
