As we prepare for the upcoming Open Enrollment season, consider alternatives for your Oscar Health and PPO clients.

Yet another increase is on the horizon for PPO plans (Blue Shield 15%, Health Net 8.4%) and more clients want cost effective alternatives. With the exodus of Oscar Individual as of January 1, 2024 and no EPO alternatives, they're also having to choose either an HMO or PPO. More on rate increase here.

Although historically, members wanted the freedom and access to care under the traditional PPO and EPO models; with an LA Care or Molina HMO, clients have access to a wide variety of hospitals still, including Sharp, UCLA, Cedars-Sinai and more.

What you can do: Take a look at the Silver PPO vs HMO example and see the differences between costs and some of the available hosptials. With the high increases of the PPO plans; your clients may consider other options while still wanting access to popular hospitals. Molina and LA Care can provide both qaulity access to care and lower premiums.
