preferred provider organization


Explanation:
“In health insurance in the United States, a preferred provider organization (or "PPO", sometimes referred to as a participating provider organization or preferred provider option) is a managed care organization of medical doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers who have covenanted with an insurer or a third-party administrator to provide health care at reduced rates to the insurer's or administrator's clients.”
