PPO is short for Preferred Provider Organization and allows patients to choose any physician they wish, either inside or outside of their network.
HMO stands for Health Maintenance Organization, and the coverage restricts patients to a particular group of physicians called a network.
HMO and PPO plans for dental care—called DHMO and DPPO—work just the same way as regular HMOs and PPOs. A DHMO will require a primary care dentist and usually comes with lower out-of-pocket expenses and typically no coverage outside of the network.
