Which is better-a ppo or an hmo healthcare plan?

The one that is better depends on your actual medical needs, and your desire for flexibility with the doctors that you see. In a HMO, you are restricted to a network of doctors, and typically there is no coverage if you go to an out of network doctor. In a PPO, you get more affordable coverage when you stay in network but you can go out of network if you have to. You still have coverage out of network in a PPO, but you pay more before the insurance pays. For these reasons, HMO's are less expensive than PPO's.


What are the differences between PPO health insurance and HMO?

PPO stands for Primary Provider Organization, which means you can see phycians "in or out of network". Out of network will always be more money out of pocket to the insured. HMO stands for Health Maintanance Organization. HMO's do not have "out of network" benefits. HMO's are much more restricting because you are limited to the physicians and facilities that may be used.

HMO vs PPO?

Even though the HMO is the health care plan that most people have because it is the one offered by their employer, many people either overlook or do not consider the HMO's big brother, the PPO. The PPO offers much more freedom to a policyholder than does an HMO, and aside from slightly higher premiums, the services of a PPO are much more straightforward and basically outstrip an HMO in all respects. Employees should consider a PPO as a gap policy, to cover anything that an HMO does not, and to cover their family if their employer policy does not. It is simply much easier to go to doctors that you wish to go to and see specialists at any time with a PPO.
