PPO Explained

What Is PPO Insurance?

A PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) is a type of health insurance plan that gives you the freedom to see any healthcare provider without needing a referral from a primary care physician. PPO health insurance plans have a network of preferred providers where you pay lower rates, but you’re also covered if you go outside that network.

PPO plans are the most flexible type of health insurance available. Unlike HMO plans, you don’t need a primary care doctor to coordinate your care. You can see specialists directly, visit urgent care anywhere in the country, and use out-of-network providers when needed — all without pre-authorization for most services.

FreedInsure offers 11 PPO health insurance plans through two major carrier networks: Cigna and First Health Network. These plans are available year-round with no open enrollment window, making them ideal for people who need coverage immediately or missed ACA enrollment.

PPO vs HMO

PPO vs HMO: Which Plan Type Is Right for You?

The biggest question most people have about health insurance plan types is the difference between PPO vs HMO. Here’s a direct comparison:

FeaturePPO PlanHMO Plan
See Any Doctor?Yes — any providerNetwork only
Referral Needed?No referral requiredYes, for specialists
Out-of-Network?Covered (higher cost)Not covered (except ER)
Primary Doctor Required?NoYes — must select PCP
Enrollment Window?Apply any dayOpen enrollment only
Best ForFlexibility, specialists, travelersLower premiums, routine care

If you value doctor choice and flexibility, a PPO plan is the better option. If you primarily need basic preventive care and want the lowest possible premium, an HMO through the ACA Marketplace may work. Many FreedInsure clients use an ACA plan as their primary coverage and add a PPO plan for specialist access or as gap coverage. See all 11 PPO plans →

Frequently Asked

PPO Health Insurance FAQ

What is the difference between PPO and HMO?
A PPO lets you see any doctor without a referral, including specialists and out-of-network providers. An HMO requires you to choose a primary care physician who coordinates all your care and gives referrals. PPOs offer more flexibility but typically cost more. HMOs cost less but limit your provider choices.
Can I get a PPO plan without open enrollment?
Yes. Our 11 PPO plans through Cigna and First Health are available 365 days a year. No qualifying life event needed. Apply any day and coverage typically starts the first of the next month.
How much does PPO health insurance cost?
PPO plan premiums start at $309/month for an individual. Plans range up to $639/month depending on deductible level and coverage tier. $0 deductible plans are available at higher premium levels. All plans include telehealth and prescription coverage.
Is a PPO plan better than ACA insurance?
It depends on your situation. ACA plans offer income-based subsidies (often $0 premiums) and cover all essential benefits. PPO plans offer doctor freedom, no referrals, and year-round enrollment. Many clients combine both — an ACA plan as primary coverage plus PPO for specialist access.
Do PPO plans cover out-of-network doctors?
Yes. PPO plans cover both in-network and out-of-network providers. In-network visits have lower copays and deductibles. Out-of-network visits are still covered but at a higher cost-sharing level. Emergency care is covered at in-network rates regardless of provider.
Is FreedInsure’s PPO comparison free?
100% free. We compare all 11 PPO plans side by side based on your ZIP code, budget, and healthcare needs. Carriers compensate us — you pay the exact same premium whether you enroll through FreedInsure or directly with the carrier.
