Health Maintenance Organizations deliver medical care, not dental care. Contact your health care provider about the available options for dental care.
Most major health insurance carriers also offer dental in HMO plans. Blue Cross and Blue Shield, as well as Anthem, offer this protection. Metlife also offers dental HMO plans.
PPO and HMO, both are acceptable dental insurance. PPO dental insurance allows you to concern other dentist with some limitation coverage. HMO dental insurance provides expert dentist in their network to offer best treatment. You can choose any insurance plan which suits you the best.

No, your dentists office is not legally required to verify your dental insurance. Your insurance company has a contract between you and them, it's not a contract including your dental provider. This is assuming we are not speaking of HMO insurance or PPO insurances. If you are given a list of dentists that you can go to based on a fee schedule then that dentist has agreed to accept a certain discounted price or not to exceed a certain cost, if this is the case then they are obligated to verify when your insurance is effective and when and if it has been cancelled. As a matter of fact, Your dental provider is only doing their patients a favor of submitting a claim for patients within the practice but they do not even legally have to do that. ( once again when referring to NON HMO insurance )
Aetna HMO provides insurance services. Some examples of insurance services available through Aetna HMO include Dental, Health and Medical insurance. You can learn more at the Aetna website.
