    PPO

    A Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) allows individuals to select their own doctors and treatment centers. These can be in or out of the insurance company’s network. These plans are typically associated with higher out-of-pocket costs. 

    HMO

    A Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) is a type of health insurance that offers individuals a network of doctors and treatment centers that have been approved for coverage by the insurance company. These are called “in-network” providers.

    POS

    This type of insurance requires individuals to get referrals to see specialists. These programs allow individuals to select their treatment provider as with a PPO, but also have a discounted “in-network” option for treatment with an approved provider.
