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.
It is not clear how much a typical HMO pays towards an organ transplant as it will will vary greatly between locations and they type of transplant. Typically they will pay 80% of the cost.
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.
If you are employed you can get your HMO through your employer. You can also get an HMO if you are not employed, however it will cost you more since an HMO is a shared cost among many people in the company.
Anyone who can afford the payments can apply for HMO insurance. Many people can apply for HMO insurance through their employer. People can even get HMO insurance themselves and be self-insured.
