The Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) Plan limits coverage to care from in-network doctors. These types of plans provide integrated care and focus on prevention and wellness by requiring that a primary care physician (PCP) be selected and referrals be required for visits to a specialist. The Princeton HMO Plan includes the Prescription Drug Plan.
