How does an PPO plan work?
Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans are a type of Medicare Advantage Plan (also known as Medicare Part C) that includes all Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) and Medicare Part B (medical insurance) benefits. Medicare Part C plans are designed to reduce the cost of healthcare by contracting with certain doctors, labs, and hospitals to provide care at a discounted rate for members. A Medicare Advantage PPO plan has a list (called a "network") of primary care physicians, specialists, hospitals, and other providers that you may go to. You have the flexibility to go to any doctors, specialists, or hospitals that aren't on the plan's list. However, you might pay more for services that are received outside of the network. In addition, special rules for authorization may apply. Medicare Advantage PPO plans may also include Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage.

Enrollment disclaimer information:
You must continue to pay your Medicare Part B premium. This information is not a complete description of benefits. Contact the plan for more information. Limitations, copayments, and restrictions may apply. Benefits, premium and/or copayments/co-insurance may change on January 1 of each year. The Formulary, pharmacy network, and/or provider network may change at any time. You will receive notice when necessary. Medicare evaluates plans based on a 5-Star rating system. Star Ratings are calculated each year and may change from one year to the next. Out-of-network/non-contracted providers are under no obligation to treat Today's Options PPO members, except in emergency situations. For a decision about whether we will cover an out-of-network service, we encourage you or your provider to ask us for a pre-service organization determination before you receive the service. Please call our customer service number or see your Evidence of Coverage for more information, including the cost-sharing that applies to out-of-network services.
