Does Humana have PPO plans?
The Humana Medicare Advantage PPO plans consist of broad networks of health care providers. As a plan member, you can visit the in-network doctor of your choice. You are also free to receive Medicare-approved care outside of the plan network, as long as your doctor is approved by Medicare and accepts Humana’s plan terms.
What are the advantages of a PPO plan?

Is a PPO more expensive than a HMO?
Basic Cost Comparisons. PPO plans are generally more expensive than HMO plans as far as the basic policy is concerned.
