What happens if primary insurance is PPO and secondary insurance is HMO?
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.
Do the primary dental insurance rules govern the allowed charges from the dentist?
The answer to the question, is it depends. State laws on coordination of benefits (CoB) can impact the answer, but there is a general rule of thumb. If the dentist participates in a network that is connected to the patient's coverage--whether that coverage is primary or secondary, the participating network contractual relationship determines the amount that can be collected from the patient.Here's a table that was developed by the National Association of Dental Plans outlining various CoB scenarios and what determines the charges to patients under each.PATIENT COVERAGEWHAT THE DENTIST CHARGES THE PATIENTPrimary and secondary coverage are both DPPOs; Office participates in both network plans.The DPPO allowances of the primary plan.Primary coverage is a DPPO, and the secondary coverage is an indemnity plan.The DPPO allowances of the primary plan.Indemnity plan is primary, and the secondary coverage is a DPPO.The DPPO allowances of the secondary plan.

What is DMO dental coverage?
DMO is acutally a trademark of Aetna for their dental HMO; the rest of the dental benefits industry uses the term DHMO. Dental HMOs have the lowest premium cost of all dental insurance products and usually have no annual maximum benefit. The trade off is that a dental HMO requires that you use a dentist on their list to receive care. Your cost in a dental HMO (DMO) is usually listed as a specific dollar amount for each procedure, such as office visit, x-rays, cleaning, fillings, root canals, etc. The Aetna website describes their DMO as follows: Aetna DMO Dental requires the selection of a Primary Care Dentist from an established network. Preventative care is covered once every six months at 100%. Basic restorative services and major restorative procedures are covered after a scheduled co-payment amount is paid. All services must be provided by your Primary Care Dentist. Specialty care is referred by the Primary Care Dentist to a network specialist. Orthodontic coverage is available to all enrolled employees and their eligible dependents. Evelyn F. Ireland, CAE; Executive Director, National Association of Dental Plans
