HMO Health Insurance
What is an HMO plan?
A Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plan is a type of healthcare plan that limits coverage to care from doctors, hospitals, and healthcare facilities that work for or contract with the HMO. You may be required to live or work in the HMO service area in order to receive coverage.
How does an HMO plan work?
HMO plans cover services rendered by providers that are in-network (for a certain geographic area) ONLY. Out-of-network care is not covered except during an emergency. All of your healthcare is coordinated by a Primary Care Physician (PCP), meaning that your PCP will refer you to an in-network specialist in the event that you need integrated care.
Are HMO plans expensive?
With an HMO plan, you can expect to pay a lower monthly premium than you would for other plan types. Additionally, your deductible and other out-of-pocket expenses will likely be lower than other healthcare plans. For some HMO plans, you may not owe anything for care received during a hospital stay once you’ve met your deductible.
