Understand the difference between these three types of insurance and how people gain access to
these health insurances in the Private Sector:
HMO
 Deliver comprehensive health maintenance and treatment services to a group of
enrolled individuals who prepay a fixed fee.
 The employer pays a monthly or annual rate directly to the HMO.
 The individual may also have out-of-pocket expenses such as copayments.
 Go to primary doctor and get a referral for a specialty doctor
 Can’t go to doctors outside HMO physicians
PPO
 Contracted providers provide services for discounted price
 Additional costs if a provider outside the PPO is used.
 To control costs, the provider must receive preauthorization from the PPO for a
member to be hospitalized or for some procedures or tests, and second opinions
are usually required before major procedures or surgical operations are
performed.
POS
 POS plans allow members, for an additional fee and higher copayment, to use
providers outside the individual HMO network.
IPA
 Independent physicians in solo or group practices who provide health care
services to members of an HMO
 Group practice model: HMO contracts with all physicians and specialists needed
by the HMO enrollees, but physicians remain independent.
 Some contracts are exclusive, requiring physicians to restrict care to members of
an individual HMO,

,  Other variations allow physicians to care for members outside the HMO.
 Network model: HMOs contract with individual physicians and with physician
groups for both primary and specialty services.
