PPO Plans

PPO stands for Preferred Provider Organization. A PPO’s premiums are usually much higher than an HDHP, but that comes with greater flexibility. PPOs allow you to get both in-network and out-of-network care — though out-of-network providers cost more. You can also see a specialist without a referral. The plans also include an out-of-pocket maximum for in-network care. If you reach your out-of-pocket maximum, your insurer covers all costs.
