PPO
Managed care plan
PPO stands for preferred provider organization, a type of health insurance plan that contracts with a network of doctors and hospitals to provide care at reduced rates.
Unlike HMOs, PPOs allow members to see specialists without referrals and to use out-of-network providers—though at higher cost: My PPO lets me keep my current doctor.
