Understanding Network Types

HMO

Health Maintenance Organization

Lower costs with a primary care physician (PCP) who coordinates your care. Referrals needed for specialists. Coverage limited to network providers except emergencies.

PPO

Preferred Provider Organization

More flexibility to see any provider without referrals. Lower costs when using in-network providers, but you can see out-of-network doctors at higher costs.

EPO

Exclusive Provider Organization

No referrals needed for specialists, but must use network providers for coverage (except emergencies). Lower premiums than PPOs with more flexibility than HMOs.

Tips for Finding the Right Doctor

  • Verify the doctor is in-network for your specific plan
  • Check if the doctor is accepting new patients
  • Consider location and office hours
  • Read patient reviews and ratings
  • Confirm hospital affiliations and privileges
  • Ask about wait times for appointments
  • Check if they offer telehealth services
  • Consider language and cultural preferences

Frequently Asked Questions

Use your insurance carrier's provider search tool above. You'll need your plan name and network type (HMO, PPO, or EPO). Always call the doctor's office to confirm they accept your specific plan before scheduling an appointment.

HMO plans require you to choose a primary care physician and get referrals for specialists, but typically have lower costs. PPO plans offer more flexibility to see any provider without referrals, but usually have higher premiums and out-of-pocket costs.

This depends on your plan type. PPO plans typically allow out-of-network care at higher costs. HMO and EPO plans generally don't cover out-of-network care except for emergencies. Check your plan documents or contact your insurance carrier for specific coverage details.

HMO plans typically require referrals from your primary care physician to see specialists. PPO and EPO plans usually don't require referrals, giving you direct access to specialists. However, some procedures may still require prior authorization.
