How it works

BENEFITS

Dental Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) / Managed Care

Best for: Budget-conscious employees seeking affordability


Choose one dentist or dental facility from which to receive dental care—your primary care dentist. Each time you receive treatment and a claim is filed, you pay a fixed dollar amount, or "copayment." Most diagnostic and preventive services, such as cleanings and some x-rays, have no copayment, minimizing out-of-pocket costs.*
