If, for example, you are visiting an off-network operator for a total of $500 worth of total value added Internet access charges, the PPO scheme can only take over 60% of the fee a operator would bill for the same Internet access charges.

And if a medical practitioner would agree to $250 as a full amount payout, that means the insurance firm would only be paying $150 and the other $350 would come out of your pockets.
