POS plans offer more flexibility than HMOs. You are allowed to choose a doctor outside of the insurance network and still receive coverage, although it will be reduced. You are required to choose a PCP, who must make referrals to physicians outside of the network in order for you to receive reimbursement for costs. POS plans usually offer more preventative care and well-being services, such as stop smoking programs and health club discounts.
