What is PPO and what does it mean?
PPO stands for Preferred Provider Organization. A group of in-network medical providers contract with the insurance carrier under specified plans offered by the carrier. The providers agree to provide care at a pre-neogotiated rate per procedure. In exchange the providers expect to see patient flow from members of the plan. Most PPO plans do not require a referral to see a specialist.
What are the advantages of PPO health insurance?
For most people the main advantage of PPO health insurance is options. A PPO plan offers you the opportunity to use any in-network provider without a referral. Because of this you can go see any particular doctor in your network without having to get approval from another doctor or your insurance company first. This is really the only advantage for a PPO as compared to any other health insurance plan.

What is an EPO?
Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO) - There are two types of EPO plans. The current industry standard requires that a patient select a Primary Care Physician (PCP) (some patients may only have to choose a medical group) and when needed obtain authorization from that PCP to receive specialty services. A patient must stay within the contract network and only use preferred providers. There typically is a lifetime policy maximum with this type of plan. In the event a patient goes out of network (OON) they may be responsible for the entire balance that is not paid by the payer associated with the services provided. The other type of EPO is one where the benefits are those of a PPO but the provider panel from which members obtain care is smaller than a PPO panel.
