HMO Plans
Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) is a type of Medicare Advantage plan offered by private companies.
How does an HMO Plan work?
Generally, HMO plans offer services from doctors, other health care providers, or hospitals in the plan’s network (except for emergency care, out-of-area urgent care, or temporary out-of-area dialysis, which is covered whether it’s provided in the plan’s network or outside the plan’s network). However, some HMO plans, known as HMO Point-of-Service (HMOPOS) plans, offer an out-of-network benefit for some or all covered benefits for a higher copayment or coinsurance.
HMO Plan Basics
With an HMO plan, you must choose a primary care provider and, in most cases, obtain a referral to see a specialist. Additionally, your plan may have specific rules, such as requiring pre-approval for certain services before they are covered. It is crucial to adhere to these rules to maintain your insurance coverage.
