  • Preferred Provider Organization (PPO): Health coverage allowing patients to see providers that are considered in-network or out-of-network, but premiums are usually higher. 
  • Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO): Health coverage that doesn’t require a primary care physician or a referral for a specialist, but it usually requires staying in-network. 
  • Point of Service (POS): A blend of HMO and PPO where a person needs a referral for a specialist and will have some out-of-network benefits. 
  • Qualified Health Plan (QHP): Certified by the Health Insurance Marketplace to provide essential health benefits.
