Arizona PPO and POS Plans

PPO and POS plans are kinds of Arizona health insurance plans. Like an HMO, these plans have provider networks, but you can choose to see doctors outside of the network and pay more.

The Arizona Department of Insurance oversees Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona and Blue Shield of Arizona PPO health plans.

PPO Plans

A PPO is a preferred provider organization. A PPO is good plan for people who want to see providers without prior approval from their plan or medical group and who do not want to choose a primary care doctor.
You get your health care from a network of doctors and other providers, but you can choose to go outside of the network and pay a higher cost.
You usually pay a yearly deductible before the PPO starts to pay some or all of your bills.
You usually pay a co-insurance, or percent of the bill, when you get a covered service. The PPO pays the rest.

POS Plans

A POS is a point of service plan. It is a mix between an HMO and a PPO.
You have a primary care doctor and you get most of your health care from an HMO network.
You can choose to see doctors and other providers outside of the HMO network, but you will have to pay a much higher cost than if you stayed in the HMO network.

Out-of-Network PPO Costs

It is important to read your Evidence of Coverage (the booklet that explains your benefits) to understand the costs you will have when you go outside of the network in a Arizona PPO plan. If you see a doctor or other provider who is not in your health plan's network, you and your plan share the cost of the service. However, your cost will usually depend on the plan's Maximum Allowable Amount for the service. This is the most your plan will pay for a service. It is usually about the same as what the plan pays providers in the network.
Before you see an out-of-network doctor, you can ask your plan to tell you how much it will pay and how much you will have to pay.

Example of Out-of-Network PPO Costs

  Network Hospital
(PPO pays 90%)
Out-of-Network Hospital
(PPO pays 70%)
Hospital charge $22,000 $22,000
The PPO's Maximum Allowable Amount for the service $14,000 $14,000
Your PPO pays $14,000 x 90% = $12,600 $14,000 x 70% = $9,800
You pay $14,000 x 10% = $1,400 $14,000 x 30% = $4,200

plus all of the amount over the allowed cost:
$22,000 - $14,000 = $8,000

$4,200 + $8,000 = $12,200
