  > Preferred Provider Organization (PPO)
PPOs are comparable to indemnity plans, although they require subscribers to choose their health-care providers and health-care facilities from a preferred-provider list. Because the preferred providers have agreed to the plan's requirements, including discounted fees, subscribers have a financial incentive to stay within the network.

Massachusetts Health Insurance

What is a PPO plan?

A PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plan is a health plan where favored service providers, such as doctors and hospitals, have a contract with an insurance company or a health plan to offer service for their policyholders. Generally, the preferred service provider agreed to accept an insurance company's usual payment. If you have a PPO contract, and do not use the preferred service providers, you will likely pay more for services rendered by the physician or hospital.

Massachusetts Auto Insurance

Can I drive legally without insurance?

No, almost every state requires that you have auto insurance. All states also have financial responsibility laws meaning that if you do not have insurance, you need to have sufficient assets to pay claims if involved in an accident. If you don’t have enough assets, you are required to purchase the state minimum amount of insurance. Car insurance is a necessity.

Massachusetts Homeowners Insurance

Am I required to get Homeowners Insurance for my home?

No, you are not required by law to get Homeowners Insurance to cover your home. However, depending upon where you live, lenders may require that you have homeowners insurance before offering you a loan. For instance, in areas prone to flooding, hurricanes, earthquakes, and other natural disasters, insurance is required by banks and lenders before making a loan. You never know when disaster may strike and leave your home damaged or even destroyed. For this reason, it is not a good idea to be without homeowners insurance.
