Accordingly, is it better to have an EPO or PPO?
EPO health plans are often more affordable than PPO plans if you choose a doctor or specialist in your local network. However, while EPO plans are less expensive then both HMO and PPO plans, the cost-savings do not come without drawbacks.
Similarly, what is the difference between an HMO and PPO? An HMO is a Health Maintenance Organization, while PPO stands for Preferred Provider Organization. The differences, besides acronyms, are distinct. But the major differences between the two plans is the cost, size of the plan network, your ability to see specialists, and coverage for out-of-network services.

Are EPO insurance plans good?
Like a PPO, you do not need a referral to get care from a specialist. But like an HMO, you are responsible for paying out-of-pocket if you seek care from a doctor outside your plan’s network. An EPO is a good option if you want to see specialists without a PCP referral within your network.
