PPO (Preferred Provider Organization)Preferred Provider Organization - a system of Health Insurance managed care. It allows you access to the Provider of your choice (no need to choose a Primary Care Physician), and it allows you to refer yourself to Specialists of your choice. Benefits are greater if you use "Preferred" Providers (those who are on the Network). However, you may go "Out-of-Network", at a greater cost to you.
