Health Policies

In a PPO, using an out-of-network provider generally results in:

  • a.Coverage at a higher out-of-pocket cost to the insured✓
  • b.A cash bonus to the insured
  • c.No coverage whatsoever
  • d.The same cost as staying in-network

A PPO still covers out-of-network care but at a higher cost to the insured, preserving flexibility. It neither denies out-of-network care nor charges the same as in-network.

Health Policies

A Point-of-Service (POS) plan:

  • a.Covers only emergency and urgent care services and provides no coverage at all for routine visits, whether they are in-network or out-of-network
  • b.Never uses a primary care physician
  • c.Blends HMO and PPO features, letting the member choose in-network (gatekeeper) or out-of-network care at the time of service✓
  • d.Is identical to traditional indemnity coverage

A POS plan combines HMO gatekeeping for the lowest cost with the option to go out-of-network at higher cost, deciding at the point of service. It is not the same as indemnity coverage.

Health Policies

To contribute to a Health Savings Account (HSA), an individual must be covered by a:

  • a.Stand-alone dental plan
  • b.Qualified high-deductible health plan (HDHP)✓
  • c.Low-deductible HMO plan
  • d.Medicare plan

HSA contributions require enrollment in a qualified high-deductible health plan and no disqualifying coverage. Low-deductible HMOs, Medicare, and dental plans do not qualify a person to fund an HSA.
