What type of plan is AARP Medicare Advantage Patriot (HMO-POS)

AARP Medicare Advantage Patriot (HMO-POS) is a Local HMO *. With a health maintenance organization (HMO) you will be required to receive most of your health care from an in-network provider. Health maintenance organizations require that you select a primary care physician (PCP). Your primary care physician will serve as your personal doctor to provide all of your basic healthcare services. If you require specialized care or a physician specialist, your primary care physician will make the arrangements and inform you where you can go in the network. You will need your primary care physician approval, called a referral. Services received from an out-of-network provider are not typically covered.

With a HMO-POS point-of-service you have the option to go out-of-network or see a specialist without a referral. But, you may pay more for out-of-network care you receive than from an in-network provider.
