Capitation/DHMO or PPO program

Is Delta Dental PPO a capitation/DHMO or PPO program?

Delta Dental PPO is not a capitation/DHMO program. Delta Dental pays participating dentists directly for each covered service rendered based on the lesser of the submitted fee or the fee published in Delta Dental’s PPO fee schedule, rather than a monthly dollar amount. Patients can lower their out-of-pocket costs by choosing a Delta Dental PPO participating dentist.
