What Does HMO Stand For?
HMO stands for Health Maintenance Organization
HMO, or Health Maintenance Organization, is a type of managed care plan that provides healthcare services to its members through a network of designated healthcare providers. Members typically select a primary care physician who coordinates their medical care, and referrals are required for specialty services. HMOs emphasize preventative care and efficient management of healthcare resources, often resulting in lower out-of-pocket costs for members compared to other types of insurance plans.
