Is Essential/Tonik/Sound a PPO plan?
Yes, since Essential and Tonik are Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO) you have the freedom of choice to select any doctor from any hospital to perform your surgery or treatment. Other than Kaiser since they are their own network, in California you will have access to around 41,000 doctors and physicians (including specialists) and over 80% of the hospitals. Hospitals include UCLA, UCI, UC Davis, UCSF, USC, Scripps, Cedars Sinai, Loma Linda, and City of Hope just to name a few. In the other states Anthem BCBS and Unicare do have superior PPO networks as well.
