Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A preferred provider organization (PPO) is an organization that allows members to choose their physicians and hospitals, but offers lower out-of-pocket costs if they use healthcare providers that are listed on the plan. PPOs offer more flexibility in terms of choosing providers, unlike HMOs or EPOs, which have more restrictions. Managed care organization (MCO) is a broader term that encompasses different types of health insurance plans, including HMOs, PPOs, and EPOs.
