Point of Service Health Insurance (POS)
|
|
A
Point-of-Service medical plan is basically a combination
of a PPO and an HMO. Like the other types of managed care,
POS plans are established to provide lower cost medical
care to those that remain in the network. Assume for a
moment that POS's are structured identically to PPO
medical plans. The major difference between a POS and PPO
plan is that the Point-of-Service plan makes use of a
Primary Care Physician. With the POS plans, if you seek
medical care outside of the network, you will be
responsible for full payment. On the other hand, if your
Primary Care Physician gives a referral for you to see a
specialist outside of the network, the insurer will pick
up most of the cost. As with HMO plans, POS plans
typically include preventive care and health improvement
programs. |
