Plan Comparison Guide: PPO, HMO & Family Options

PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plans offer more flexibility in choosing healthcare providers and don't require referrals to see specialists, though you'll pay less when using in-network doctors. HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) plans typically have lower premiums and require you to choose a primary care physician who coordinates your care and provides referrals to specialists. HMOs usually only cover in-network care except for emergencies.
