A dental HMO plan, also called a DHMO, is a dental insurance plan designed around a network of participating dentists and set member copays for covered services. These plans are built to keep costs more predictable, but they usually require members to use network dentists for coverage to apply.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Dental HMO plans are often a strong fit for people who want a lower premium, do not mind choosing from a plan network, and value simple copay-based pricing over reimbursement-style coverage. Many DHMO plans do not have an annual deductible or annual maximum for covered care, which makes them different from many PPO plans.<\/p>

A DHMO may be less appealing for someone who wants broad dentist choice or expects to use out-of-network providers. In most cases, care outside the network is not covered except for limited exceptions defined by the plan.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
