12. An advantage of preferred provider organizations (PPOs) is that:
a. they make insurance coverage of employees less expensive to employers.
b. there are fewer physicians to choose from than in an HMO.
c. long-term relationships with physicians are more likely.
d. patients may go directly to a specialist for care.
ANS: A
The use of PPOs allows insurance companies to keep their premiums low and
in turn makes insurance coverage less expensive for the employers. There are

term relationships between physician and patient cannot be established easily.
Patients still must see their primary physician before being referred to other
specialties.VERIFIED-TEST BANK
