Covered California HMO vs PPO vs EPO: Explained for 2027 - Watch on YouTube
This is plan is longer available on the California health insurance market but there are still some grandfathered subscribers who have been on the plan for years.
The Basic PPO plan was the first of the Hospital only plans for catastrophic health coverage which are now pretty common on the market.
It combined a very low deductible (generally $1000) with the lowest rates on the market but only covered facility based care (hospital, surgery, etc).
At the time, having no prescription coverage was really unusual...until the rest of the market caught up.
The closest ACA equivalent for catastrophic coverage is the Bronze plan.
