A Medicare PPO allows you the benefit of saving money by utilizing in-network providers, but also gives you the flexibility to go out of network if you choose. This type of Medicare Advantage plan can offer more flexibility in that regard than a Medicare HMO.
According to an analysis of plans sold in the 36 states for which the federal government runs the online insurance marketplace as well as the plans sold on the California exchange, HMO offerings made up 40 percent and PPOs another 40 percent. POS plans made up 12 percent and EPO plans 7 percent. Pearson says the explanation may be that insurers anticipated that people who bought a PPO would probably want to use out-of-network providers.
