And belated to you and the rest of the folks here.
By the way, I will be eating all of the 20 pound turkey that I roasted. Turkey does not agree with Fred. I just spent a half hour cleaning up the mess.  -- This post printed on 100% recycled bytes |

| reply to jadinolf My employer used Delta Dental a few years ago, and after quite a significant number of employees expressed their dislike of it, they switched to Aetna's DMO.
One thing I remember was that you were severely limited as to where you could go for dentists that were within the plan. And the out-of-pocket maximum per year was also kind of low. -- "The trouble with computers, of course, is that they are very sophisticated idiots." - Doctor Who (from Robot)

That was my problem. There is a premium Delta Plan that has every dentist in my town. The bottom of the line plan that I would sign up for has dental offices of questionable repute and at least 30 miles away.
At least with Blue Cross, I get my regular dental office. He's 30 miles away too but near Costco, The 99 Cent Only Store and Wally World.  -- This post printed on 100% recycled bytes |

1 edit | reply to Doctor Four I'm with Delta Dental Premier PPO, the visit co-pay is $5, and the benefit maximum is $1,500. I don't think my current dentist accepts them. They cover only 80% and I get to hear the complaints. What do people expect for $5.70 a month for single coverage. -- NIL ILLEGITIMUS CARBORUNDUM! |

| reply to lilhurricane said by lilhurricane :PPO vs HMO (DMO) - Typically means: PPO: IN/OUT OF NETWORK BENEFITS Freedom of Choice HMO (DMO): NETWORK PLAN (LEAST COST TO EMPLOYER/EE-RESTRICTED) Nowadays, that's the only accurate part, IMO. All of the rest is at the discretion of your employer and the terms they dictate. |
