This is my understanding...

MedicareComplete Choice Plan 2 is a PPO plan offered by United HealthCare, and it DOES NOT require a referral to see a specialist.

Preferred Secure Option is a HMO plan offered by Preferred Care Partners, and it DOES require a referral to see a specialist.

Note that I am not an expert in this area. Please consult their websites, or contact an expert or an educated volunteer with SHINE in TV.
