Medical Policy
Terms and conditions
By clicking on “Accept” below, I acknowledge receipt of the following information:
- The Policy Bulletins on this website were developed to assist Independence Blue Cross (IBC) in administering the provisions of its benefits programs and do not constitute medical advice. If you are an IBC member, please refer to your specific benefit program for the terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions of your coverage. Facility and professional providers, such as hospitals and physicians, are responsible for providing medical advice and treatment. If members have a specific medical condition or question, they should consult with their provider.
- Currently, the Policy Bulletins available on this website represent only a portion of the Policy Bulletins used by IBC. IBC intends to expand the number of Policy Bulletins available on this website in the near future. Please note that the Policy Bulletins are updated biennially and when new medical evidence becomes available and, therefore, are subject to change.
- You should be aware that Policy Bulletins are used as a guide only. Coverage decisions are made by applying Policy Bulletin criteria to the member’s medical history, condition, and proposed course of treatment, as well as the member’s benefit program. Members should review the Policy Bulletins with their providers because the Policy Bulletins are designed to be used by our professional staff in making coverage determinations and can be highly technical.
- Information contained in the Policy Bulletins does not constitute an offer of coverage, medical advice, or guarantee of payment. Please note that if there is a conflict between the Policy Bulletin and a member's benefit program, the terms of the benefit program will govern.
- Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) is copyright American Medical Association (AMA). All rights reserved. No fee schedules, basic units, relative values, or related listings are included in CPT. The AMA assumes no liability for the data contained herein. Applicable FARS/DFARS restrictions apply to government use.
