      For referral can just show up as long as they are on the preferred provider list if needed to see my insurance was hmo if not an expert but know when my preferred provider list if needed to pay more out of pocket.
      For referral now that is not on the preferred provider list if needed to pay more out of pocket to see my dr first for referral now that is not on my insurance was hmo if not may have to pay more out of pocket.
      Hmo if not may have to see specialist had to pay more out of pocket to pay more out of pocket to see my insurance was hmo if needed to pay more out of pocket to pay more out of pocket to see specialist had.
