What is a Medicare HMO plan?
A Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plan requires you to receive medical treatment from specific hospitals and doctors within a certain network. HMO plans are required to provide you with Original Medicare benefits, just like any other Advantage plan. HMO plans are limited when it comes to out-of-network treatment, though that care is still available. In cases of emergency, you can visit an out-of-network doctor or hospital to take care of your health needs.
There are also Health Maintenance Organization Point-of-Service (HMO-POS) plans that give you more flexibility in choosing a doctor or hospital, as they allow out of network options in certain circumstances. Although rates usually go up for these HMO-POS plans, the convenience of having a more extensive network may be worth it for your situation. If you’re not sure how large of a health network you need, call one of our Licensed agents and they’ll walk you through the process.
