Question:Â I am wanting to buy dental insurance and I am thinking about HMO’s since they are way more affordable and within my budget. I do not mind choosing a network provider but is there anything I should know to make choosing a network dentist easier. Â
Answer: When choosing a network dentist within an HMO dental insurance plan here are a few tips you may want to keep in mind.
1) Call the provider to confirm they are still accepting the plan and new members
2) Make sure that you have more then one provider in the plan that you would be willing to go to. This is in case you ever wish to change providers.
3) Ask the dental office any question that are important to you in choosing them as your dental provider. Such as hours of operation, How far booked up they may be, Their location, How long they been in practice etc.
4) You may want to ask if the dental office has their own web site. That way you can find out more about their practice and services.
