UMR sells PPO, POS plan types in Nashville. A PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) lets you see any provider without a referral; out-of-network care is covered but you pay a higher share. An HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) requires you to pick a primary-care doctor and get referrals for most specialist care, usually in exchange for lower premiums. An EPO (Exclusive Provider Organization) is in-network only, like an HMO, but skips the referral requirement. A POS (Point of Service) plan blends HMO-style in-network with PPO-style out-of-network options. Your plan name is on your member ID card.
UMR does not sell consumer ACA marketplace plans or Medicare Advantage in Nashville. The networks above are commercial offerings, typically distributed through employer group plans, self-funded ERISA arrangements, and similar group products.
Data is sourced from the federally-mandated CMS Transparency in Coverage filings that every insurer must publish monthly. Last refreshed July 14, 2026.

Plan Type Mix in Nashville
UMR organizes its Nashville network into several plan types, each with different rules about which doctors you can see and what referrals you need. The bars below show the unique-provider share of the 53-doctor network that offers plans of each type.
A high PPO share means most UMR doctors in Nashville accept the insurer’s broader preferred-provider plans. these give you maximum choice and don’t require referrals to specialists. A high HMO share signals a tighter gatekeeper model: lower premiums but you usually need your primary-care doctor to refer you before a specialist will bill. EPO and POS bars sit between those two on both flexibility and cost.
Because individual doctors typically participate in multiple UMR plan types at once, these percentages don’t sum to 100%. the same provider can appear as both PPO and OAP coverage. What the chart tells you is which plan categories have meaningful depth in Nashville.
Percentages don’t sum to 100% because most doctors participate in several plan types simultaneously.

Physician Experience in UMR’s Nashville Network
Years since medical school graduation is a reasonable proxy for experience, though it doesn’t capture fellowship training, subspecialty certifications, or years spent in specific clinical settings. For UMR’s Nashville network the breakdown below gives a quick sense of whether you’re picking from a predominantly early-career roster or one weighted toward veteran practitioners.
A network heavy on early-career doctors (0–5 years) often means lower wait times for new patients and exposure to the latest training, while veteran providers (30+ years) typically bring deeper pattern recognition for unusual presentations. A balanced distribution. roughly one-quarter in each bucket. is a healthy signal that the insurer has depth at every career stage, not just new graduates filling out its directory.
Telehealth Coverage in Nashville
3 of 53 UMR in-network providers (6%) offer telehealth visits in Nashville. Video appointments are typically covered for follow-ups, medication refills and adjustments, mental-health sessions, dermatology triage, and low-acuity primary care.
Availability and reimbursement still vary by state regulation and specific plan. Psychiatry, behavioral-health, and primary-care telehealth is near-universal at this point; procedural specialties (cardiology, orthopedics) typically offer video visits for pre-op consults and post-op follow-up but not initial diagnostic visits. Call the office with your UMR member ID to confirm your plan covers the visit type you need.

Before scheduling anything inpatient or procedural, call both the doctor’s office and the hospital billing line with your member ID to confirm both sides are in-network for the specific plan you hold.
