Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Connecticut
Connecticut • Traditional Indemnity, PPO, High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP)
This prefix includes traditional indemnity coverage. Indemnity plans are the oldest form of health insurance and offer maximum provider choice with no network restrictions. Members pay a percentage of charges after meeting their deductible. Reimbursement is based on reasonable and customary rates for the service area.
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.
This is a High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) prefix. These plans have minimum deductible thresholds set by the IRS. Members often use HSA funds to cover out-of-pocket costs. The plan's claims processing and payer ID are the same as the standard plan, but expect higher patient responsibility amounts on remittance.
