hmo – there is no coverage for out of network services, unless approved prior to receiving them. there is a co payment for some services.
ppo – there is a slightly higher reimbursement rate for using in network providers, but you can use out of network as well. ppo usually has a deductible and co insurance of about 70/30 up to 90/10.
Best bet is to call them since all plans are different even within the Aetna plan depending upon what your company has.
I’m interested in seeing one, but IDK if it’s covered or not. Are they expensive?
Call the number on the back of your card & ask, Different HMOs have different rules.
Usually with HMO’s, if you go to a doctor who is "out-of-network" with your insurance, the HMO covers none of your expenses. With PPO’s, they usually pay more of the cost with "in-network" doctors, and you have to pay more of the cost with "out-of-network" docs.
What type of insurance is better PPO or HMO? Right now I need help on getting an insurance my dad is out of work and he is in need of one due to him being in Chemotherapy.
I hate HMO yea the copays are cheaper but it takes longer to get aproval on services and PPO for me has worked better the copays are just a little higher but the insurace I believe is better

So a company just offered me a job and I came from a big corporation with great benefits, stock option plan, and a 401K. This job does not offer a 401k and the insurance plan is an HMO. Does anyone have any opinions on this? I don’t know much about either, but both kind of turn me off…
If you are pretty healthy, an HMO isn’t too bad, especially if its a low out of pocket HMO. I’ve had one now for 6 years. Its ok, because my family is young and healthy. There are lots of health centers near us as well. During this time I’ve had three kids, and each delivery had a maximum out of pocket of $500.
As for a 401K, they’re nice, but right now, not a lot of companies can offer the matching. You can always have your own Roth IRA. Yes, you miss out on the matching funds from the employer, but you are still saving for your future.
It seems like nothing excites Obama and his Government more than giving Tax Payers Money to Corporations. Especially Health Insurance Corporations.
Forcing a Citizen to buy insurance from a private insurance company is extremely unconstitutional and would never hold up in a court this fact seems to have been forgotten by Obama. The Constitution clearly states that no citizen will be forced to buy a product from a private company.
