What is a PPO Health Plan

Preferred Provider Organizations, or PPO plans as they are referred to, are health insurance plans that allow you to see any doctor of your choice but costs are lower if you stay within the plan provider network of health care providers that work with your plan. The doctors, hospitals, medical labs and other facilities that provide healthcare are referred to as in-network providers. With in-network providers, you receive in-network benefits. PPO plans are able to offer services at a reduced rate because of the increased patients brought on by having the doctor networks. Unlike HMO products, you will still receive partial reimbursement if you choose an out-of-network doctor although you will share in more of the costs.

Answers to Your Questions About PPO Health Plans

With a PPO plan, you can see any specialist you want, without needing a referral from a primary care physician. You will receive the in-network benefits as long as the specialist you see is also in-network. This will save money on health insurance, because you do not have to visit your primary care doctor and pay a co-payment to obtain a referral to see a specialist. If you see a specialist outside of the PPO insurance plan's preferred network, it will be more costly to you. It is a good idea to compare PPO plans before purchasing a plan since some PPO insurance plans have larger networks than others.
