For many people, the most affordable health insurance option is a managed care plan. And when you're comparing managed care options, the two kinds of plans you're most likely to come across are HMOs and PPOs.

In some ways, these two affordable insurance plans are similar. For example, they both let you take advantage of “networks” of qualified healthcare providers. In other ways, they're very different — PPOs give you much more flexibility in choosing a provider than an HMO will.

Choosing The Right Health Plan

So which plan is your best bet?

A PPO may be best for you if:

• You want to be able to choose any doctor
• You have a chronic condition, such as back pain or arthritis
• You’d prefer to use alternative medicine services such as acupuncture or chiropractors.

An HMO may be best for you if:

• You want a no-hassle billing system
• You will need to keep your deductible and out-of-pocket costs as low as possible
• You have a family that will need annual physicals, well-baby visits, and OB/GYN care.

Before You Decide On Managed Care…

Managed care isn't for everyone. Here are a few reasons why you may want to consider other options:

• Do you have a chronic illness? Ask if the plan you’re considering offers a disease-management program that allows intensive monitoring.

• If you’re a smoker or have weight problems, find out if the plan offers stop-smoking, weight-loss, and treatment program targeted to your needs.

• Finally, don’t stop comparing plans just because you’ve settled on one. New plans are always coming on the market, and you never know when you'll find one that gives you more coverage for less money.
