I am in Cedar Park and was offered the Scott & White PPO when I was on healthcare.gov. I didn't go with it due to the state limitation.

I researched Scott & White, and it looked like you had to go to their doctors, which for me defeated the purpose of getting an PPO over an HMO (i.e., I can choose where I go, I don't need a primary care physician). Scott & White's offices weren't close to me, and their clinics got bad reviews.

I have been to S&W and you are right to be concerned - I have had care and billing issues. That's why BCBS with HMO to me was preferable to S&W PPO even though I hadn't read through their "PPO" plan to the level of detail that you did.
