Message on provider voucher updated

Effective Feb. 17, we no longer use the term PO component on the provider voucher for message Z587. Instead, we say PGIP Allocation.

This update improves the message’s clarity, and it won’t affect the outcome or the timely processing of your claims.

The new message now says:

“WE APPROVED THE APPLICABLE FEE SCHEDULE AMOUNT, OF WHICH [$X.XX] IS THE PGIP ALLOCATION AMOUNT. THE MEMBER’S LIABILITY IS SHOWN ABOVE. (Z587)”
