What a PPO means when you need urgent care
PPO stands for preferred provider organization. In plain terms, the plan has a list of doctors and clinics that agreed to its rates. HealthCare.gov explains that you pay less when you use providers in the plan's network and that you can still go outside it, at a higher cost, without a referral (HealthCare.gov glossary).

Question
What a PPO usually means
Do I need a primary doctor first?
No. You can choose where to be seen.
Do I need a referral?
Not for a walk-in urgent care visit.
What if the clinic is out of network?
Benefits are usually lower and your share of the bill is usually higher.
Where do I find the exact rules?
Your plan booklet, member portal, or the number on your ID card.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois says in its own network document that a lower level of benefits applies when care is out of network (BCBSIL PPO networks). That is why confirming the clinic before you go matters more than the plan name alone.
