Explain the difference between an exclusive provider organization (EPO) and a preferred provider organization (PPO).

What will be an ideal response?


An EPO is more restrictive than a PPO. Under an EPO, members must receive services from participating providers, or pay for the services themselves. A PPO allows members to receive services from non-participating providers, but the member has a higher co-payment.
