HMOs create networks of doctors, specialist, pharmacies, hospitals, and other care providers. Most HMO networks consist of thousands of health care professionals, ensuring you’ll have convenient access to medical care when you need it.
• PPOs (Preferred Provider Organization). PPOs plans are the most popular in the Individual and Family market.
