In standard health insurance and healthcare economics discussions, health coverage is generally categorized into four primary types or models: Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) which require utilizing a strict network of primary care doctors and specialist referrals; Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs) that offer flexibility to see out-of-network doctors without referrals; Point of Service (POS) plans combining features of both HMOs and PPOs; and High-Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs) paired with tax-advantaged Health Savings Accounts (HSAs).
