Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The point-of-service plan (POS) is the only model that allows individuals to choose between using an HMO provider or self-referring to a non-HMO provider. A POS plan is a type of managed care organization that provides greater flexibility and choice than a traditional HMO. With this plan, patients can either seek care from a network provider or see a doctor outside of the network but with the caveat that the cost for out-of-network care is generally higher.
