HMO
In the United States, a health maintenance organization (HMO) is a medical insurance group that provides health services for a fixed annual fee. It is an organization that provides or arranges managed care for health insurance, self-funded health care benefit plans, individuals, and other entities, acting as a liaison with health care providers (hospitals, doctors, etc.) on a prepaid basis. The Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973 required employers with 25 or more employees to offer federally certified HMO options if the employer offers traditional healthcare options. Unlike traditional indemnity insurance, an HMO covers care rendered by those doctors and other professionals who have agreed by contract to treat patients in accordance with the HMO's guidelines and restrictions in exchange for a steady stream of customers. HMOs cover emergency care regardless of the health care provider's contracted status.

A Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) is a type of health insurance plan that provides healthcare coverage through a network of hospitals, doctors and other healthcare providers. These plans typically focus on prevention and wellness, often requiring policyholders to live or work in specific areas to be eligible for coverage. HMOs generally also require policyholders to choose a primary care physician (PCP) who is in charge of managing their overall healthcare, including providing referrals to see specialists within the HMO's network.
