Yes
No - I don't know what those initials mean..

Select what type of Medicare Advantage plan you are mostly interested. *

HMO - Most popular, has more benefits and less out-of-pocket, must stay in-network, most plans require referrals, only allows Emergency or Urgent service outside the area you reside.
PPO - Second most popular, less benefits, higher co-payment than HMO, can go out of network but it cost more, no referrals to specialists required, most plans allow making appointments for doctors and procedures in all United States (but not all PPO will allow).
PFFS - not very popular, very similar to PPO except that when you go out-of-network does not cost more for most services
SNP - Special Needs Plan is for people with certain health conditions or on Medicaid
Other

I would like to keep going to my specialists without needing a referral from my primary care doctor.
