Understand the types of health insurance plans so you can make the best choice for your family. Pick the kind
of health insurance that is best for your family.
- PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) - PPO health insurance plans are very popular because they have a network
of medical providers to control costs, while allowing consumers to leave the network if they accept a lower
level of coverage. PPO health plans are usually simple to use and understand, but somewhat flexible.
(PPO Health Plan Advantages)
- HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) - An HMO health plan provides managed care where the health insurance company controls
costs by only covering network provided health care (with limited exceptions for emergencies). HMO health plans are also
simple to use and understand, but not as flexible as PPO health insurance.
- HSA (Health Savings Account) - An HSA health insurance plan has two parts. One is a high deductible major medical plan, and
the second is a savings account. HSA contributions can be deducted from taxes (within limits), earn interest,
and roll over from year to year. Learn how HSAs work.
These work better for people who like to control their costs, and are disciplined savers.
