A PPO or Preferred Provider Organization, is in one way or another similar to an HMO plan since networks of physicians are present also. But unlike an HMO plan, the insured is limited to services or network physicians and they can see any doctor they choose. On the other hand, co-payments and deductibles will be lesser in-network services. On top of this, network physicians settle on reasonable charges and as a result, the insurance company will still be the one to pay only eight percent of the charges. The insured will often than not pay higher fees for especially for out-of-network services.
