Types of health insurance
Various health insurance plans provide different coverage levels to suit your health needs and budget. Here are the major types:
- Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs): Low-cost plans that require members to choose a primary care physician and obtain referrals for specialist care, with coverage limited to in-network providers.
- Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs): More flexible plans allowing patients to see specialists without referrals and offering partial coverage for out-of-network care, with higher premiums but greater provider choice.
- Point-of-Service (POS) Plans: Hybrid models combining HMO and PPO features, permitting patients to coordinate care through a primary physician while maintaining some out-of-network coverage options.
- Exclusive Provider Organizations (EPOs): Plans that provide in-network care without requiring referrals, offering a balance between cost control and health care accessibility.
- High-Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs): Low-premium options with higher deductibles, typically paired with Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and best suited for generally healthy individuals seeking more affordable coverage.
