What is a PPO? What is an HMO? What are the real differences between the two? Although an HMO may be cheaper than a PPO, you need to understand what you may potentially be giving up by choosing an HMO health insurance plan. In today's episode I go over the differences between HMO's and PPO's that even Insurance Brokers may not fully understand or explain to you. This is information you NEED to know when choosing a health insurance plan whether for yourself or even for your company.
Thank you for joining me on another episode of Baktari MD! Do you have a question regarding our healthcare system? Please leave your question in the comments below so I can make an episode about it. Also, I’d love to hear any suggestions you may have for future content.
