To ensure efficient claims administration, NCPPO?s and HealthLink?s name and logo are required on all Member Identification cards. The NCPPO/HealthLink name and logo identify NCPPO/HealthLink as the network, and are readily identifiable by our providers as a point of reference for 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 the claim for the provider?s benefit. NCPPO/HealthLink educates providers about the nature of this network/payor relationship.
Member ID cards produced by third party administrators should conform to NCPPO/HealthLink standards. These standards assist our providers in identifying and routing claims for repricing. The information assists our members and providers with the necessary information for proper servicing.
