They are sometimes referred to as "open-ended" HMO
when offered by an HMO.
POS plans resemble HMOs for in-network services.
Services received outside of the network are usually reimbursed in a manner
similar to conventional indemnity plans.
Provider reimbursement based on a
fee schedule or usual and customary charges.
