NCPPO and HealthLink ID Card Requirements Printer Friendly

To support efficient claims administration, the NCPPO and HealthLink network program name and logos are required on the front of all Enrollee Identification Cards. The name and logo position NCPPO and HealthLink as the network, and are readily identifiable by participating providers as a point of reference in the filing and follow-up of their claims.

The name and logo of the benefit administrator is also noted on the card. This establishes the name of the entity administering benefits on the plan participant’s behalf and processing payments to the provider of service. The payor’s logo should be larger than the network logo and located on the front of the card.

We educate participating providers about the nature of this network/payor relationship. This helps to direct claims to the proper payor.

Enrollee ID cards produced by payors should conform to NCPPO and HealthLink standards. These standards assist providers in identifying and routing claims for repricing. The information provides enrollees and participating providers with the necessary information for proper service.
