Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO)
In 2010, preferred provider organizations accounted for 74% of the total dental benefit market, which makes PPOs the most popular type of dental plans in the United States.1 A PPO plan is regular indemnity insurance combined with a network of dentists under contract to the insurance company to deliver specified services for set fees and according to the provisions of the contract.
Contracted dentists must usually accept the maximum allowable fee as dictated by the plan, but non-contracted dentists may have fees either higher or lower than the plan allowance. Patients can usually see either a contracted dentist or another dentist, but may be penalized by receiving a smaller benefit when they seek treatment from a non-contracted dentist.
The following is a typical plan design for a PPO plan:
- 100% coverage for preventive and diagnostic services *
- $50 annual deductible; applies to all services except preventive and orthodontic
- 80% coverage for basic restorative services
- 50% coverage for major restorative services
- 50% coverage for orthodontics subject to separate lifetime maximum of $1,000
- $1,000 annual maximum for all services except orthodontics
(* percentages are applied to the maximum allowable fees as determined by the insurance carrier)
We accept all major PPO plans:
- Cigna
- Delta
- Humana
- Guardian
- MetLife PDP Plus
- DHA
- Sun Life
- United Health Care/DBP
