Coverage under prefix ZHI

POS

Under this POS prefix, the member can access care both in-network and out-of-network, with cost-sharing that varies based on how the care is accessed. In-network care coordinated through the member's PCP has the lowest out-of-pocket cost. Include referral documentation when billing at the in-network benefit level.

HMO

This is a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) prefix. HMO plans have stricter routing requirements than PPO plans. Members select a PCP who manages their care and issues referrals. Claims for specialist services should include the referral number. Out-of-network claims will typically be denied unless emergency criteria are met.

Traditional Indemnity

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.
