Expenses in this type of plan are usually covered in full or there is a
modest co-payment at the time of your visit. There are two basic
types
of HMO’s. The first is the group/staff type in which you go to a
central
facility (group health center) to receive care. The second type is an
independent practice association (IPA) in which providers work from
their individual offices and are referred to as primary care physicians.
Section # Part Variable Name Question Text Skip Instructions
2 - FEE FOR SERVICE PLAN
In a fee for service type of plan you or your insurance company is
generally billed after each visit. In a traditional fee for service plan
you
may go to any doctor or hospital you choose. In a Preferred Provider

you may choose. If you choose to go to one of the doctors on the
