What are the main differences between Medicare HMO and PPO plans?
Medicare Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) and Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO) plans are both network-based plans. Here's how they differ:
| Plan type | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Group Medicare Advantage HMO plans | These plans provide coverage for members through a network of locally contracted doctors and hospitals. They generally do not provide out-of-network coverage, except in emergencies. |
| Group Medicare Advantage PPO plans | Group PPOs offer flexibility, with access to providers nationally, in and out of network. |
