What do these plan types mean?
Medicare Advantage Plans (Part C) and Cost Plans
Medicare Health Maintenance Organization (HMO):
A Medicare Advantage Plan that provides all Original Medicare Part A and Part B coverage and sometimes Part D drug coverage. In most HMOs, you can only get care from doctors and hospitals in the plan's network, except in emergencies.
Medicare HMO Point-of-Service (HMO-POS):
An HMO that may let you get some services out of network for a higher copay or coinsurance.
Medicare Preferred Provider Organization (PPO):
A Medicare Advantage Plan that provides all Part A and Part B coverage and sometimes Part D drug coverage. PPOs have network providers, and you can also use out-of-network providers, usually at a higher cost.
Medicare Private Fee-for-Service (PFFS):
A Medicare Advantage Plan where you can see any Medicare-approved provider that accepts the plan's payment terms and agrees to treat you. Not all providers will. If the plan has a network, you'll usually pay more out of network.
Medicare Special Needs Plan (SNP):
A Medicare Advantage Plan designed for people with specific needs, such as people with both Medicare and Medicaid, people living in nursing homes, or people with certain chronic conditions.
Medicare Medical Savings Account (MSA):
A high-deductible health plan paired with a bank account. Medicare deposits money into the account, which you can use for medical expenses until you meet the deductible.
Medicare Cost Plan:
A plan where you can use providers in and out of network. Out-of-network services are paid under Original Medicare, and you pay Medicare's coinsurance and deductibles.
Stand-alone Medicare Prescription Drug Plans (Part D)
Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (PDP):
A stand-alone plan that adds drug coverage to Original Medicare, some Cost Plans, some PFFS plans, and MSA plans.
