What are the EPO and EPO Supplement to Original Medicare plans?
With Blue Shield’s Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO) and EPO Supplement to Original Medicare plans, benefits are almost exactly the same as the HMO benefits, except that members do not need to select a Personal Physician. Each time an EPO member seeks care, they can choose from the physicians and hospitals in our Preferred Provider (PPO) network. Out-of-network services are not covered, except for urgent and emergency care.
