What are PPO and HMO Group Insurance Plans?
- HMO, or Health Maintenance Organization, plans facilitate coverage through a primary care provider (PCP) from your employee’s choice of physicians within our network.
- PPO, or Preferred Provider Organization, plans usually carry a higher monthly premium while allowing your employees to choose any physician they wish, either inside or outside the BCBSIL network.
