2023 Humana Medicare Advantage Plan Overview

What type of plan is HumanaChoice R5826-018 (Regional PPO)

HumanaChoice R5826-018 (Regional PPO) is a Regional PPO *. A preferred provider organization (PPO) is a Medicare plan that has created contracts with a network of "preferred" providers for you to choose from at reduced rates. You do not need to select a primary care physician and you do not need referrals to see other providers in the network. Offering you a little more flexibility overall. You can get medical attention from a provider outside of the network, but you will have to pay the difference between the out-of-network bill and the PPOs discounted rate.
