Plan Costs HMOs have predictable copays for services PPOs have deductibles and % coinsurance Deductible is the amount you pay each year before the plan starts sharing the cost with you Coinsurance is your share of the cost after you pay the deductible Your costs are based on the network that the provider is in and the service you receive You pay discounted rates for “in-network” providers You pay more for “out-of-network” providers

PPO Allowed Amount – In Network PPO plans negotiate “allowed” rates to process claims. In-Network Example Discounted rate that plan negotiates for each service with “preferred” or participating providers You pay the in-network coinsurance on the discounted rate.

PPO Allowed Amount – Out of Network PPO plans assign “allowed” rates to process claims.
