HMO members must receive all routine care from plan providers, except in emergent or urgent care situations or for out-of-area renal dialysis. If you obtain routine care from out-of-plan providers, neither Medicare nor the carrier will be responsible for the costs.
PPO members can go to doctors, specialists or hospitals in or out-of-network. You may have to pay more for the services you receive outside the network and you must follow special rules in order for the carrier to pay for these services. Otherwise neither the carrier nor Original Medicare will pay for these services. Member responsibility may be greater out-of-network since coinsurance is based on the Medicare allowed amount and not on the potentially lower contracted amount.
