A network of doctors and hospitals that accept the policy claims of a certain insurer is sometimes called a preferred provider network or PPO. They often give discounted rates to companies offering immigrant insurance. There are positives and negatives about these organizations.
PPO immigrant health insurance plans will reduce the degree of coverage when claims are made from hospitals or doctors that are not part of their network. Essentially, instead of 100% coverage for the treatment they may only cover 80% of the medical bills. However in the event of an emergency they will not penalize you for using the closest medical facility and then transfering to one in the network.
Other PPO providers will allow customers to seek medical attention from hospitals and doctors that are not part of the network. The catch is that these customers will be required to pay higher co payments or incur higher out of pocket expenses. With non PPO plans the providers have no discounted billing rates, so in case of a claim the cost is higher for both the insurance company and the insured.
