Suggerimenti
- If you're young and healthy with few doctor visits, an HMO with lower premiums often saves money.
- If you have chronic conditions or need specialist care, a PPO's flexibility may be worth the higher premium.
- Always check if your preferred doctors are in-network — out-of-network costs can be dramatically higher.

What is the difference between HMO and PPO?
HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) requires you to choose a primary care physician and get referrals for specialists. Lower premiums, lower out-of-pocket costs, but less flexibility. PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) allows you to see any doctor without referrals. Higher premiums but more flexibility and larger network.
What is a deductible?
A deductible is the amount you pay out-of-pocket for covered health care services before your insurance plan starts paying. For example, if your deductible is $1,500, you pay the first $1,500 of covered services. After that, you usually pay only a copayment or coinsurance.
What is coinsurance?
Coinsurance is your share of the costs after you've paid your deductible. For example, with 20% coinsurance and a $1,000 bill after your deductible, you pay $200 and your insurer pays $800.
What is the out-of-pocket maximum?
The maximum amount you'll pay in a year for covered services. After you reach this limit, your insurance pays 100% of covered costs. For 2025, ACA plans have an out-of-pocket maximum of $9,200 for individuals and $18,400 for families.
