Sample questions & answers

1. A health maintenance organization (HMO) typically requires members to:

Receive most care through the plan's network and a primary care physician

HMOs emphasize network care coordinated through a primary care physician, with limited out-of-network coverage.

2. Compared with an HMO, a preferred provider organization (PPO) generally offers:

Greater freedom to use out-of-network providers at a higher cost

A PPO lets members use out-of-network providers at higher out-of-pocket cost while offering lower costs in-network.

3. The deductible in a medical plan is the amount the insured must:

Pay out of pocket before the plan begins to pay

The deductible is the amount the insured pays out of pocket before the plan starts paying covered expenses.

4. In a medical plan with 80/20 coinsurance, after the deductible the insured generally pays:

20 percent of covered charges up to the out-of-pocket limit

With 80/20 coinsurance, the plan pays 80 percent and the insured pays 20 percent of covered charges until the out-of-pocket limit is reached.
