Define Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs)
What will be an ideal response?
A patient with PPO insurance can seek care within an approved network of health care providers who have agreed with the insurance company to lower their charges and accept assignment (i.e., the amount the insurance company pays). The patient may be responsible for part of the charge (i.e., a co-payment). The patient may choose, however, to go out-of-network and pay the provider's customary charges. The insurance company may then reimburse the patient a small amount.
