Health and Life Insurance

Answer: A - An exclusive provider organization is a type of PPO. In the exclusive provider organization, or EPO, the individual members use particular preferred providers instead of having the choice of a variety of preferred providers like a PPO would offer. Providers are paid as a fee-for-service. EPOs are noted for the primary care physician that monitors care and makes referrals to a network of providers. These can be an alternative to or companion to an HMO or PPO.
