It’s become increasingly important for companies to effectively manage health care costs recently, especially given the changes that come along with full implementation of the Affordable Care Act (also referred to as “Obamacare”). Many small and medium sized businesses are confused what their role is in the process is and the ways in which they can best leverage their own employer sponsored health plans for the benefit of their employees and their overall cost of doing business.

A key difference between health care plans is whether the medical coverage is administered through a health maintenance organization (HMO) or a preferred provider organization (PPO). An HMO is a group of medical professionals from which a patient chooses a primary doctor that oversees all of their medical needs and provides referrals when necessary. A primary care physician (PCP) works as a patient’s “personal” doctor under the HMO arrangement and all health care goes through them.
With a PPO, the patient gets a choice among a group of doctors within a common network. Unlike an HMO, a primary doctor does not have to be chosen with a PPO and referrals are not required if you see another doctor that is in the same network. Going outside of the network does still sometimes offer coverage with a PPO, though the reimbursement is less.
