What are the major types of health insurance?

California residents are able to choose between 4 major types of policies— HMO, PPO, EPO, and POS.

Health Maintenance Organization (HMO): 

This plan usually limits health coverage to specific doctors who either contract with or work for the HMO. Out-of-network care is typically not covered, unless in the case of an emergency.

Preferred Provider Organization (PPO): 

With this plan, you end up paying less if you use the providers within the PPO’s network. You aren’t barred from visiting doctors, providers, and/or hospitals outside of the network; this can be done without a special referral, but for an additional cost.

Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO): 

This is a managed care plan in which the services will only be covered if you visit the doctors, specialists, and/or hospitals in the EPO’s network.

Point of Service (POS): 

With this plan, you end up paying less if you use the doctors, providers, and hospitals that are part of its network. POS plans require a referral from your primary doctor to see any type of specialist.
