What is the difference between FFS and HMO?

An FFS plan usually contracts with a preferred provider organization (PPO) for network discounts. You may choose any doctor or hospital, but may have lower out-of-pocket expenses with PPO providers. An HMO plan provides care through a network of physicians, hospitals and other providers in a particular geographic area.
