Coverage under prefix W5G

Traditional Indemnity

Traditional indemnity coverage means the member has fee-for-service insurance with no network limitations. Any licensed provider can be seen without referrals. Claims are reimbursed based on usual, customary, and reasonable (UCR) charges. The member typically pays a deductible and a percentage of allowed charges.

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.

Medicaid

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.
