Types of Health Insurance Plans
Health insurance plans vary in terms of coverage and cost-sharing arrangements:
- Health Maintenance Organization (HMO): Requires you to select a primary care physician (PCP) and obtain referrals to see specialists.
- Preferred Provider Organization (PPO): Offers a broader network of providers and allows you to see specialists without referrals, though usually at a higher cost.
- Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO): Similar to PPOs but may not cover any out-of-network care except in emergencies.
- Point of Service (POS): Combines features of HMOs and PPOs, requiring a PCP and referrals for specialists but allowing out-of-network care.
