What you accept in each case

HMO is a "Group practice (HMO)" model. SmartCare is a "Telemedicine and others" model.

  • HMO

    Group practice (HMO)

    You go to a designated group practice, which coordinates your care.

  • SmartCare

    Telemedicine and others

    You call a medical service before any consultation, or follow another pathway set by the insurer.

The comparison, region by region

An alternative model commits you to a care pathway: check the conditions with the insurer before signing. This page gives a price, not advice.
