HOW POINT OF SERVICE PLANS WORK

A point of service plan, or POS, is a type of managed care plan. It combines features of an HMO plan with a PPO plan.

Your employees won't need a referral to see a specialist, and they can live in or outside of Michigan, unlike many other HMO-style plans.

Your employees will pay the least when they get care from a doctor in our network. They’ll pay more when the doctor doesn’t belong to our network. It’s up to them to decide what works best.
