Reminder - Empire follows Original Medicare policies

Beginning January 1, 2024, Empire became Anthem. This article, published under the former brand, now applies to Anthem.

Empire is required to follow all clinical and reimbursement policies established by Original Medicare in the processing of claims and determining benefits. Empire follows all Original Medicare local coverage determinations, national coverage determinations, Medicare rulings, code editing logic and the Social Security Act

 

Empire may offer additional benefits that are not covered under Original Medicare. Certain benefits are only covered when provided by a vendor selected by Empire. More information can be found at empireblue.com/medicareprovider. You may also contact Provider Services at the phone number on the back of the member ID card.
