Allows you to choose a primary care doctor from a

network of healthcare providers

In case of specialist care, your primary care doctor

will refer you to other specialists

No deductible

Low cost and co-payment amount

PPO – Preferred Provider Organization

Allows you to have the entire network of healthcare

providers at hand

Plus doctors outside the network

There are some deductibles

Deductibles increase when you consult with doctors

outside the network. So does the cost!

PoS (Point of Service)

Allows you to choose a primary healthcare provider

from the network

When necessary, you will be referred to specialists

within the network

Shares the stipulations of both HMO and PPO

Deductibles can be even more higher when you see

doctors outside the network. So do the copayment

amounts!
