What is HMO?
Health Maintenance Organizations for Medicare Beneficiaries is a type of Medicare Health Plan that is available in most areas of the country. Plans must cover all Medicare Part A and Part B health care. Some HMO’s cover extra benefits, like extra days in the hospital. In most HMOs you can only go to doctors, specialists, or hospitals on the plan’s list except in an emergency. Your costs may be lower than in the Original Medicare Plan. (www.medicare.
