How this plan type works
A PPO plan offers flexibility when choosing health care options. It offers members the freedom to choose any health care provider without a referral.
It's a great plan choice for those who have medical issues and need to see specialty doctors often. It's also great for those who live in rural areas since PPO plans are often accepted by more doctors, which equates to more provider choice.
If offering the widest network is a part of your priorities, you won't find a better option than a Blue Cross PPO plan. We offer the largest PPO network in Michigan, which is accepted by 100% of hospitals and 95% of doctors within the state.
