Our PPO plans offer broad physician and hospital networks, with the flexibility to see any doctor in or out of the plan’s network. PPO plans may include a deductible (amount paid before insurance kicks in), copayment (a set amount paid for a visit) or coinsurance (a percentage of the cost of a visit). Staying in-network typically means lower out-of-pocket costs than choosing to go out of network.
