HMO PLANS

Medicare beneficiaries also have access to Medicare Advantage HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) plans as an additional health insurance alternative. HMO plans are provided by commercial insurance providers that have received Medicare approval, just like Medicare Advantage PPO plans. HMO plans do, however, contain a few unique characteristics:

Network-Based Care

Selecting a primary care physician (PCP) from inside the network is usually mandatory for HMO plans. Your PCP arranges and oversees your care and acts as your primary point of contact for medical matters. Generally speaking, in order to consult specialists or obtain specialized treatments, you require a recommendation from your PCP.

In-Network Providers

Using providers in their established network is emphasized in HMO plans. Aside from emergencies or urgent care, treatments obtained from out-of-network providers may not be covered by HMO plans, or their coverage may be restricted. This guarantees coordinated care throughout the network and aids in cost control.

Prescription Drug Coverage

Prescription medicine coverage is often included in HMO plans. A variety of prescription drugs may be easily accessed as a result.

Additional Benefits

HMO plans could give extra benefits on top of what Original Medicare covers. These perks may include coverage for wellness initiatives, dentistry, vision, and hearing care, among other services.

Premiums

In addition to the Medicare Part B cost, HMO plans could charge a monthly fee. Depending on the insurance company and the plan, the cost may change.

The average out-of-pocket expense for an HMO plan is also lower than that of other Medicare Advantage plans.
