Best Answer

When a DPPO is primary coverage, the charges paid by the patient are based on the agreed DPPO discounted fees--not the DHMO schedule of charges. The dentist would bill the DPPO for the procedures performed. If the dentist is in the DHMO network, he or she would also get his or her regular capitation payment for that patient.
