Point of Service (POS)
POS stands for Point-of-Service.
It is a type of health insurance plan that is part HMO and part PPO.
♦ Like HMO plans, most POS plans require you to choose a primary care physician from a network of providers
But like a PPO, you have the option to use out-of-network providers.
A POS network usually is not as extensive as its PPO cousin.
