EPO?

EPO?

Exclusive Provider Organization. Like a hybrid of an HMO and a PPO.

It sucks when your state's ACA coverage gets split between 2 EPO networking systems.

For those of you who aren't in the ACA space it looks like Wellcare(Ambetter) is nuking the EPO in a lot of markets including South Florida. They had a good quarter but man something is off with them.

thats pretty much true with every carrier in florida. there's really no good choice for those not on Medicare, and don't have employer coverage from a big company like Disney

Did this come about as a cost control measure for the carriers?

i have no idea. probably? I only recently started working the ACA market.

I just know every time I shopped my insurance over the past several years and looked at the network it was always slim pickings.
