10. The Alan Guttmacher Institute, 1994. The survey focused on six types of insurance: small-group (under 100 employees) indemnity, large-group indemnity, self-insured indemnity, PPO, POS, and HMO. Since little difference was found between the three types of indemnity insurance, results in the study are generally reported for large-group indemnity plans.
11. HMOs combine the financing and delivery of health care to a defined population for a fixed prepayment; all care is provided through a limited network of health plan providers. PPOs are networks of providers that provide services to enrollees in an insurance companies managed care plan for discounted fees. POS plans or networks function similarly to HMOs but enrollees retain the option of receiving care outside the plan network at an increased cost-sharing level.
