of HMO’s. The first is the group/staff type in which you go to a central

facility (group health center) to receive care. The second type is an

independent practice association (IPA) in which providers work from

their individual offices and are referred to as primary care physicians.

2 — FEE FOR SERVICE PLAN

In a fee for service type of plan you or your insurance company is

generally billed after each visit. In a traditional fee for service plan you

may go to any doctor or hospital you choose. In a Preferred Provider

Organization (PPO) you are provided with a list of doctors from which

you may choose. If you choose to go to one of the doctors on the PPO

list, the amount of expenses covered is higher than if you go to a

doctor not on the list.

insurance plan available to Medicare recipients, to cover the costs of
