Point-of-service (pos)
Device that enables the health maintenance organization (HMO) to present a premium quotation to the employer that would encourage the employer to replace the current health carrier. The POS offers three options for the delivery of health care:
- traditional gatekeeper (GK) option HMO network provides the care and there is a gatekeeper director.
- open access (OA) option HMO network provides the care but there is no gatekeeper director. At the time care is required, the member selects the provider.
- out-of-network option (OON) care is permitted outside the HMO network and there is no gatekeeper director. At the time care is required, the member selects the provider.
