What these numbers mean for you
- HMO or PPO. HMO plans usually ask you to use doctors in the plan's network. PPO plans also pay something toward doctors outside it, usually at a higher cost.
- More plans is not the same as a better fit. What matters is whether a plan covers your doctors and prescriptions, and what it costs you over the year.
