Definition
Sponsors of Medicare Advantage (MA) health care plans approved by Medicare that accept applications for enrollment in a type of managed care organization that generally provides health care coverage through a broad network of physicians, hospitals and other providers. Providers of PPO Plans may also offer more flexibility by allowing for visits to out-of-network professionals at a greater expense to the participant; referral for specialists is generally not required.
