Individual & Family HMO Insurance in Washington
Health Maintenance Organization Insurance
HMO is short for Health Maintenance Organization. HMO plans usually focus on preventative care and wellness.
What is an HMO plan?
An HMO plan offers healthcare services through a network of hospitals, pharmacies and doctors. HMOs plans require you to choose a primary care provider who refers you to specialists. HMOs are in-network only plans that do not offer coverage out of network except in emergency situations. This typically makes the premiums lower compared to other types of plans.
How to use an HMO plan
HMOs cover a wide range of healthcare services. To use your HMO coverage you’ll need to select a primary care physician (PCP). Typically, the list of approved providers include GPs, internists, pediatricians, and DOs and others. If you needed to see a specialist, you would first see your primary care provider who would then refer to you to a specialist. Depending on the plan you choose you could pay a copay for your office visit or it may be subject to the deductible.
Who should choose an HMO plan?
If you are looking for lower premiums an HMO may be a good option for you. HMO plans require a bit more patience as you have to get a referral for specialists, but that patience rewards you with premium savings. If you are someone who wants to see any doctor you choose when you want to, a HMO may not be a good choice for you.
