Indiana • PPO, Medicare Advantage, Traditional Indemnity
PPO coverage under this prefix means the member can access any provider. In-network providers have negotiated rates with the plan, while out-of-network providers are reimbursed based on usual and customary charges. Prior authorization is generally not required for routine services but may be needed for high-cost procedures.
Under this prefix, the member may have Medicare Advantage coverage administered by this BCBS plan. MA claims are subject to CMS regulations in addition to the plan's own policies. Balance billing restrictions apply. Verify the member's specific MA plan details and confirm the correct payer ID for electronic submission.
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.
