Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can BCBS prefixes indicate the type of insurance plan?

Yes, BCBS prefixes can indicate the type of insurance plan by identifying the plan, product, and account-specific details. They are key elements for routing claims and identifying the correct BCBS plan.

Are there exceptions where BCBS prefixes are not used?

Yes, there are exceptions where BCBS prefixes are not used, such as in the Federal Employee Program (FEP) where IDs start with "R" and cases where the card has no prefix at all.

Can the BCBS prefix indicate if the plan is individual or group?
