Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield
Oregon/Idaho/Utah/Washington • HMO, Traditional Indemnity, High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP)
HMO coverage means this member must use providers within the plan's network. A primary care physician serves as the care coordinator and must authorize specialist referrals. Emergency services are the primary exception to the network requirement. Always verify referral status before providing non-emergency specialty care.
This is a traditional indemnity prefix. Unlike managed care plans (HMO, PPO, EPO), indemnity plans do not use provider networks. There are no referral requirements and no restrictions on which providers the member can see. Submit claims to the payer listed above for reimbursement at the plan's allowed rate.
Under this HDHP prefix, the member's plan has a higher deductible than traditional coverage. This affects patient cost-sharing but does not change how claims are submitted or processed. Use the same payer ID, claims address, and filing procedures listed above. Verify the member's remaining deductible before estimating patient responsibility.
