What is a Point of Service (POS) plan?
A POS plan is a cross between an HMO plan and a PPO plan. Similar to an HMO, it is required to select a primary care physician (PCP) whose services will usually be provided independently of a deductible. POS plans also share the HMO’s concentration on preventive medicine. The highest percentage of coverage will almost always be for services rendered or referred by your PCP. As with PPOs, visits to out-of-network providers generally require payment of the deductible and less of the costs will be absorbed by the insurance company. Another consideration is that not only may up-front payment be required, but the out-of-network provider will not submit your claim for reimbursement.
