What is the difference between an HMO and a PPO?

HMO stands for Health Maintenance Organization. In the HMOs, your coverage applies only to doctors, hospitals, and other providers in the network. Except emergency and urgent care, any service provided by an out-of-network provider will not be covered. No referrals are needed. As long as you use in-network providers, you have coverage. If you choose to receive care from an out-of-network provider, then you’ll be responsible for the full payment for that visit, except for emergency benefits, you will have coverage.

The MyTruAdvantage HMO network includes more than 2,200 unique Primary Care Providers, 4,100 specialists, and more than 300 facilities. Deaconess, Community Health, Schneck Medical Center, Columbus Regional Health, and Union Health all participate in our network.
