Coverage under prefix YPW

EPO

EPO coverage under this prefix means the member must use network providers but does not need referrals for specialist visits. This plan type is becoming more common as it offers lower premiums than PPO plans while providing more flexibility than HMOs. Verify network status before providing services.

Medicare Advantage

This prefix is associated with Medicare Advantage. MA plans combine hospital (Part A) and medical (Part B) coverage, and many include prescription drug coverage (Part D). When billing, confirm whether the plan uses the same payer ID for MA claims as for commercial claims, as many BCBS companies use separate IDs.

HDHP

This prefix is associated with a High-Deductible Health Plan. HDHP members pay more out-of-pocket before insurance coverage begins. These plans are commonly paired with HSA or HRA accounts. When billing, be aware that the member may have significant cost-sharing responsibility until their annual deductible is satisfied.
