Types of Health Coverage
Health insurance policies fall into one of four categories for Florida residents: POS, PPO, EPO, and HMO.
These plans help cover your medical, surgical, and hospital expenses. Some cover dental expenses, mental health services, and prescription drugs, depending on your chosen coverage.
PPOs allow you to pay less for providers in the network. For an additional cost, you can choose doctors, hospitals, and providers inside or outside of the network without a referral.
HMOs require you to use doctors who work for or contract with the HMO. Typically, out-of-network expenses (except in an emergency) will be your responsibility. HMOs often focus on prevention and wellness.
Types of Medicare Coverage
Medicare Supplement Plans, also known as Medicare Gap policies, are secondary to your Medicare plan and have numerous plans to choose from.
Part D plans cover your prescriptions.
Medicare Advantage Policies, also known as Part C plans, incorporate Part A, Part B and Part D and are all included in the plan along with some additional benefits such as Dental, Vision, and OTC benefits.
