There are two main types of Medicare PPO plans: regional PPOs and local PPOs.
Regional PPOs: These plans cover a larger geographic area, typically spanning multiple states or regions. Regional PPOs offer more flexibility in terms of provider choice, as you can receive covered services from any provider within the plan's network, even if they're located outside your local area.
Local PPOs: As the name suggests, local PPOs have a smaller service area, typically limited to a specific county or metropolitan area. With a local PPO, you'll have access to a network of providers within your local community, but your coverage may be more limited if you travel outside the plan's service area.
