Product Definitions

  • Health Maintenance Organization (HMO): Groups pre-pay a premium for all health services and providers are generally paid a fixed fee or “capitation” for each assigned member. For the patient, it means no deductible, no paperwork, and small copayments as long as they access care though their designated Primary Care Physician (PCP)
  • Exclusive Provider Arrangement (EPA): HMO-like design: PCP required, preventative care, no self-referred benefits
  • Point of Service (POS): Combines Indemnity and HMO concepts into one plan design. Members choose a PCP and get the highest level of benefits when they receive care by, or under direction of their PCP. Members have the additional freedom to go to any provider for an additional out-of-pocket expense
  • Preferred Provider Organization (PPO): Members have the freedom of choice of providers, but have lower out-of-pocket costs when they use the preferred provider network
  • Medicare Advantage Plans (HMO and PPO): Employers choose affordable premiums and benefits through HAP Medicare Advantage Programs. HAP Senior Plus HMO features the Henry Ford Health System three county network and a nine county, expanded provider network with optional Medicare Prescription Drug Benefits. Alliance Health & Life offers Alliance Medicare PPO with in-and-out-of-network coverage and optional Medicare Prescription Drug Benefits. Also available to individual Medicare beneficiaries.
  • Medicare Complementary: An insurance option that coordinates with Medicare as the secondary insurance. This plan covers deductibles and coinsurance for the services that are eligible under Medicare but are not completely covered
