PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plans allow members to visit any healthcare provider without a referral. In-network providers cost less, but out-of-network care is still covered at a reduced rate. When billing for a PPO plan, submit claims directly to the payer listed above. No referral documentation is needed.
This prefix is associated with an EPO plan. Exclusive Provider Organization coverage combines elements of HMO and PPO plans: members must stay in-network like an HMO, but can self-refer to specialists like a PPO. Out-of-network services are not covered except for emergencies.
This prefix is linked to an HMO plan. Health Maintenance Organization coverage requires members to use in-network providers and coordinate care through a designated primary care physician. Referrals are typically required for specialist visits. Claims submitted without proper referral documentation may be denied.
