Medical Insurance: PPO Features
• PPO plans are designed to cost a bit more, but they give greater flexibility and choice.
• Your insurance covers your costs in and out-of-network (but cheaper in-network).
• You can choose your specialized care doctors (dermatologist, chiropractor, etc.) without a referral.
• There are deductibles (the minimum amount to pay out-of-pocket before you are covered).
• Bills and explanation of benefits (EOB) will come in the mail or via email. Keep track of these to determine how much you owe.

* For our PPO plans, non-network costs include what’s known as ‘balance billing.’ This is when the healthcare provider bills you
for the difference between what your insurance covers and what the doctor or hospital charges. The difference is not protected
by the out-of-pocket max.
** Each family member has their own deductible to meet before coverage kicks in; however, once the family’s maximum is met,
coverage kicks in for everybody. Similarly, each individual has their own out-of-pocket max, but once the family out-of-pocket
max is met, it’s met for everyone.
