PPO In/Out-of-State
By treating with a network PPO physician, you receive the highest benefit available under the PPO option. Benefits are payable if you must see an out-of-network physician, however, benefits are reduced.
BlueChoice HMO
Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO’s) require treatment by network physicians. If you select BlueChoice HMO, you must select a Primary Care Physician (PCP). Your medical treatment will be provided by your PCP and if at anytime you require treatment by a specialist, your PCP will make a referral on your behalf. Review this Directory to select a PCP and confirm which specialists participate.
Cigna HMO
United HealthCare HMO
United HealthCare HMO does not require you to see a Primary Care Physician before going to network specialists. Select any physician from the United HealthCare directory for medical treatment.
