It has been reported that just over 200 million Americans have health insurance coverage from commercial or private market health insurance.  Over the past 30 years, the financial and legal structure of such insurance has varied. No one "model" has dictated the market, although there are strong trends -- from the original "indemnity" or fee-for-service approach of 25 years ago, to HMOs (Health Maintenance Organizations) in the 1990's, to "Preferred Provider Organizations" (PPOs) in the past ten years. 

The specific terms and structures can be confusing to employers, COMSAT CORPORATION enrollees, and even policymakers.  The summary definitions below were compiled and promulgated by the United States Department of Labor.  NCSL has added notations in selected cases, with source footnotes.

Indemnity plan - A type of medical plan that reimburses the patient and/or provider as expenses are incurred.

Conventional indemnity plan - An indemnity that allows the participant the choice of any provider without effect on reimbursement. These plans reimburse the patient and/or provider as expenses are incurred.

Preferred provider organization (PPO) plan - An indemnity plan where coverage is provided to participants through a network of selected health care providers (such as hospitals and physicians). The enrollees may go outside the network, but would incur larger costs in the form of higher deductibles, higher coinsurance rates, or non-discounted charges from the providers.

Exclusive provider organization (EPO) plan - A more restrictive type of preferred provider organization plan under which employees must use providers from the specified network of physicians and hospitals to receive coverage; there is no coverage for care received from a non-network provider except in an emergency situation.

Health maintenance organization (HMO) - A health care system that assumes both the financial risks associated with providing comprehensive medical services (insurance and service risk) and the responsibility for health care delivery in a particular geographic area to HMO members, usually in return for a fixed, prepaid fee. Financial risk may be shared with the providers participating in the HMO.

Group Model HMO - An HMO that contracts with a single multi-specialty medical group to provide care to the HMO membership. The group practice may work exclusively with the HMO, or it may provide services to non-HMO patients as well. The HMO pays the medical group a negotiated, per capita rate, which the group distributes among its physicians, usually on a salaried basis. HMO's can be broken down into, Staff Model HMO, Network Model HMO , Individual Practice Association (IPA) HMO

Point-of-service (POS) plan - A POS plan is an "HMO/PPO" hybrid; sometimes referred to as an "open-ended" HMO when offered by an HMO. POS plans resemble HMOs for in-network services. Services received outside of the network are usually reimbursed in a manner similar to conventional indemnity plans (e.g., provider reimbursement based on a fee schedule or usual, customary and reasonable charges).

Physician-hospital organization (PHO) - Alliances between physicians and hospitals to help providers attain market share, improve bargaining power and reduce administrative costs. These entities sell their services to managed care organizations or directly to employers.

Medigap Supplemental Plans - Roughly 10 million Medicare beneficiaries purchase Medigap policies from private insurance companies, at a cost that ranges from approximately $1,000 to $5,000 per year, depending on the options available in the plan and the state of purchase. Studies have shown that Medigap policy holders use more medical services than those enrolled in traditional Medicare alone, primarily because the most popular Medigap plans provide "first-dollar" coverage. This means that Medigap actually pays the Medicare deductibles, copayments, and other expenses that beneficiaries are typically required to pay as a means of spreading the cost burden and reining in unnecessary use of services.
