UMR sells PPO, POS plan types in South Charleston. 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.

Plan Type Mix in South Charleston
UMR organizes its South Charleston 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 31-doctor network that offers plans of each type.
A high PPO share means most UMR doctors in South Charleston 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 South Charleston.
Percentages don’t sum to 100% because most doctors participate in several plan types simultaneously.
