EPO stands for "Exclusive Provider Organization." EPO plans may or may not differ very much from HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) plans. It's sometimes hard to make precise distinctions between these types of health plans since the definitions have changed a bit over the years.
Generally speaking, however, as a member of an EPO plan, you can only use the doctors and hospitals within the EPO provider network, but cannot go outside of the network for care. There are no out-of-network benefits. This may be the same with some HMO plans. But while an HMO plan will typically require you to coordinate most of your care through a primary care physician (who then refers you to specialists when needed), an EPO plan may allow you more freedom to decide which doctors you see within the provider network.
