I spend part of the year in Illinois and part of the year in Florida. Should I choose an Illinois HMO or PPO?

Answered by 1 licensed agent

If you spend part of the year in Illinois and part in Florida, a PPO may give you more flexibility to receive non-emergency care outside your plan’s network, while an HMO generally requires you to use in-network providers except for emergency or urgent care. However, coverage rules and costs vary by plan, and you’ll generally need to enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan based on your permanent residence. A local licensed agent can help you compare Illinois plans and see which options work well with the doctors and hospitals you use in both states.
