FAQ

What are Medicare Advantage Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans?

Medicare Advantage PPO plans provide more flexibility in choosing healthcare providers. You can see any doctor or specialist without a referral, both in and out of the plan's network. However, using in-network providers will generally result in lower out-of-pocket costs. PPO plans tend to have higher premiums and out-of-pocket costs compared to HMO plans but offer greater flexibility.
