About Insurance Companies and Plans

Kareo stores a single database of insurance information for your account. If you manage multiple practices within your account, a master insurance list ensures accuracy, eliminates repetitive data and allows for detailed reporting.  

Kareo organizes insurance information into two lists:

  1. Insurance Company

  • The insurance company represents a payer or network (Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Medicare, etc).

  • In Kareo, the insurance company record stores general insurance company information as well as paper and electronic claim settings.

  1. Insurance Plan

  • The insurance plan represents a specific benefit plan, group or program (PPO, POS, HMO, Healthy Families, etc.) governed or administered by the insurance company.

  • In Kareo, the insurance plan record stores the remit to address which is required for sending paper claims.
