Whats the difference between a dental HMO and a dental PPO?
Dentists who agree to participate in a dental HMO typically receive a fixed dollar amount per individual or family member each month. In exchange, the dentist agrees to provide covered treatments at no charge to the patient. In a PPO, you can choose from a list of dentists who have agreed to discount their fees. Or, you can see a non-participating dentist and pay a higher deductible and co-payments.
