Types of Florida Medicare Advantage plans
There are four main types of Medicare Advantage Plans:
- Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) Plans: With an HMO plan, you must go to a doctor or hospital that is in your provider network (except in the case of an emergency).
- Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) Plans: With a PPO Plan, you pay less if you go to doctors and hospitals in your provider network, but you have the option to go out of network and pay a higher price.
- Private Fee-for-Service (PFFS) Plans: With a PFFS Plan, Medicare pays a set amount every month to your insurance company to provide you with health care coverage. The insurance company (not Medicare) decides how much you pay for services. Your provider can choose whether or not to agree to the terms and conditions of your plan.
- Special Needs Plans (SNPs): Special Needs Plans are limited to people with certain diseases or characteristics.
