What is an EPO plan?
EPO stands for "Exclusive Provider Organization" plan. As a member of an EPO, you can use the doctors and hospitals within the EPO network, but cannot go outside the network for care. There are no out-of-network benefits.
An EPO plan may be right for you if:
- You do not want to get a referral to see a specialist.
- You want to receive a much lower negotiated rate with an EPO plan than you would with an HMO or PPO plan.
If you would like to apply for an EPO plan, but would like more details, please call one of our licensed agents at 1-800-977-8860.
