Dental DPPO Plan

Oral health is essential for total health! The DPPO plan gives you freedom of choice in the Dentists you receive care from. You will maximize your benefits if you choose a Dentist that participates in the Blue Shield PPO network, as those dentists have agreed to reduced fees and you won’t get charged more than your expected share of the bill. Next best would be choosing a Blue Shield network Dentist – their discounts aren’t as deep, but they offer savings to you compared to using Out-of-Network Dentists, who can bill you for all charges over the plan’s maximum allowable charge for the dental care you receive.
