Health plan PPO
Low-deductible health insurance with provider options
This plan offers greater flexibility to choose providers from UK HealthCare, Anthem network or out-of-network. UK HealthCare facilities and physicians still offer excellent value with lower co-pays and co-insurance.
PPO vs HMO
PPO plan is available at the same monthly cost as HMO and offers greater flexibility to choose a doctor or health care facility. What you pay per month, called the monthly premium, is the same as the HMO plan. Members of the PPO plan pay for this extra flexibility through deductibles, co-insurance and higher co-pays for certain services.
