Coverage under prefix YGQ

Medicaid

Medicaid coverage under this prefix means the member's Medicaid benefits are administered by a BCBS managed care plan. Medicaid managed care claims may have different submission requirements, payer IDs, and timely filing deadlines than commercial claims. Verify the specific Medicaid plan details with the payer.

PPO

This prefix is associated with a PPO plan. Preferred Provider Organization coverage gives members flexibility to see specialists without referrals and to use out-of-network providers at higher cost-sharing. Claims can be submitted for both in-network and out-of-network services, though reimbursement rates differ.

Medicare Advantage

Medicare Advantage coverage under this prefix means the plan administers Medicare Part A and Part B benefits on behalf of CMS. These claims may have different processing rules than commercial claims, including different prior authorization requirements and appeal timelines. CMS timely filing rules (365 days) typically apply.
