Preferred Provider Organization (PPO)

Under a PPO, you have coverage both in-network and out-of-network. You can see any doctor you choose, you don’t have to select a primary care physician (PCP), and you don’t need referrals to access specialists.

 

Under a PPO plan, you can:

  • Stay in-network and save money by using a network provider. Your out-of-pocket costs are lower because network providers typically offer their services at lower rates. In addition, you receive a higher level of benefits when you visit in-network providers.

  • Or, go out-of-network and use any doctor or hospital you’d like, but pay a greater share of the cost. You may be subject to reasonable and customary (R&C) limits.

In-Network Coverage

Most covered services are reimbursed at 80% after you meet the annual deductible.

Under the GreenState Traditional PPO, there is a $20 copayment for each office visit to a primary care physician, chiropractor, occupational therapist, physical therapist, speech pathologist, and mental health and chemical dependency treatment.  There is also a $40 copayment for each office visit to a specialist.

 

Out-of-Network Coverage

Most other covered services are reimbursed at 70% of the reasonable and customary costs, after you meet the annual deductible. 

 

Important Note:  You are responsible for all out of-network charges above the reasonable and customary limits, even if you have reached the out-of-pocket maximum.
