• For health plans that utilize an HMO or PPO, a health care provider (such as a hospital or doctor) that is not contracted to be part of the HMO or PPO network. Depending on the health plan's rules, an individual may not be covered at all or may be required to pay a higher portion of the total costs when he/she seeks care from an out-of-network provider.
