Types of Health Insurance
HMO (Health Maintenance Organization)
HMOs offer pre-paid health plans with the highest benefits and lowest out of pocket costs. Generally, the choice of doctors and hospitals is limited to that particular “network”. The only exception is for emergency services. Benefits are usually very good, but the choice of doctors is limited.
PPO (Preferred Provider Organization)
PPOs are well suited for individuals who want the freedom of choosing their doctors and hospitals. As a PPO subscriber, you have the choice of using either the PPO Providers or a non-provider (at a higher price). By using the PPO providers you receive higher benefits, lower co-pays and less out of pocket. PPO is usually less expensive than an HMO.
HSA (Health Savings Account)
HSAs are called “Medical IRAs”. They are a relatively simple and a great way to save money “tax free”. Money can be deposited each year to pay for qualified medical expenses on a tax-free basis. Any money that is not used “rolls over” year to year. HSA plans are typically less expensive, provide flexibility, and a nice tax-free savings account.
