Health Insurance Boulder Colorado CO
Reader’s Question:
This year, our health insurance agent in Boulder Colorado CO advised us that our carrier now provides a PPO plan. In the past, we had an HMO plan. Do you have a recommendation on either of these forms of health insurance?

Hello Robert,
You have an interesting question. Your health insurance agent in Boulder Colorado CO is better qualified to make a recommendation. He will know your group’s health insurance history and be in a good position to help you develop your best option.
Health maintenance organizations or HMO’s are very popular in Boulder Colorado. This organization is usually a network of health care providers who have agreed to provide health care services to their members at pre-arranged prices. These health insurance programs have specified co-pay arrangements that members agree to pay when services are provided. HMO health insurance policies offer many riders including prescription plans. Generally HMO health insurance subscribers in Boulder CO select a primary care physician and all services are refereed through that physician.
Preferred provider organizations, or PPO’s, is a group that contracts services and negotiates agreements for health care services with physicians, hospitals and many other health care providers in Boulder Colorado CO. Again, PPO health insurance subscribers enjoy pre-set pricing and defined co-pays and deductibles. PPO health insurance plans do not require a primary care physician so the enrollee has a bit more flexibility.
Both plans are excellent health insurance opportunities. Good luck working with your agent to get the best coverage for your situation in Colorado CO.
