What is an ACA POS health plan?

An ACA Point of Service (POS) plan is a hybrid between an HMO and PPO. POS plans require a primary care physician and referrals for specialists (like an HMO) but allow out-of-network care at higher cost (like a PPO). POS plans are less common than HMO and PPO plans.

Key Points

  • POS: hybrid between HMO and PPO
  • Requires PCP and referrals (like HMO)
  • Allows out-of-network care at higher cost (like PPO)
  • Less common than HMO and PPO plans
  • An independent agent can identify POS plans available in your area
