The Public Employees’ Benefits Program (PEBP) preferred provider organization (PPO) self-insured medical plan is available to all active employees and retirees of the State of Nevada and eligible non-state active employees and retirees. Unlike a traditional HMO plan, the PPO plan provides you with coverage regardless of your place of residence. The PPO plan allows a participant the choice to use contracted (in-network) or non-contracted (out of network) providers for medical services while still remaining eligible for benefits. Similar to a traditional indemnity program, the PPO plan requires a participant to satisfy a plan year deductible and cost sharing in the form of coinsurance.
