EPO Insurance Plans - What is an EPO Insurance Plan?
Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO) - This type of insurance plan allows access to health care from a network physician, facility or other health care professional, including specialists, without designating a
primary physician or the need for obtaining a referral. An EPO is a much smaller than PPO group. EPO insurance plans offer a very limited number of providers who offer large discounts on their rates.

An EPO plan may be right for you if:
•You do not want to get a referral to see a specialist.
•You want to receive a much lower negotiated rate with an EPO plan than you would with an HMO or PPO plan.
EPO stands for "Exclusive Provider Organization" plan.
As a member of an EPO, you can use the doctors and hospitals within the EPO
network, but cannot go outside the network for care. There are no
out-of-network benefits.
