Hometown Health Partners is proud to have pioneered the introduction of an exclusive provider organization (EPO) to the Nevada health-care market. An EPO allows self-funded employers to take advantage of Hometown Health Partners' effective cost-containment procedures by using our HMO-like plan designs. Hometown Health Partners' EPO plans use primary care physicians as the coordinators of care.
Like Hometown Health Plan's HMO, our EPO requires that, for benefits to be paid, all care must be delivered through an exclusive network of providers.
A self-funded employer may select only an EPO plan or offer it with a PPO plan for a multiple option product (MOP). This allows employees the flexibility of choosing a health plan that best suits their family's needs.
With these and other HMO-like health insurance procedures, along with the excellent provider contracts negotiated by Hometown Health Partners, a self-funded employer enjoys fewer claims and less-costly utilization. In turn, members enjoy richer benefits and use of the large, stable provider network.
