What H3916-012 means

CMS assigns every Medicare Advantage and Part D offering a plan identifier made of three parts. In H3916-012, the leading H marks the contract type (H = Medicare Advantage / Part C contract), the four digits 3916 are the contract number issued to the organization, and the three-digit 012 is the plan benefit package under that contract. The segment ID 0 identifies the service-area segment within the plan (0 = the default single segment).
