PAYMENT
There are generally two common types of dental insurance plans. They are traditional dental insurance plans (or “indemnity”) and managed care plans. In recent years, many employers have introduced Direct Reimbursement plans to provide savings to the company and greater benefits to their employees.
Patients may select any dentist they wish to perform their dental care with a traditional (indemnity) plan. Payments for these plans are provided on a “fee-
DMO’s (capitation plans) and PPO’s (ppo dental insurance) are the most common managed care plans. In these plans, benefits are usually limited if the patient chooses an “out of network” provider. The dentist is usually paid a fixed monthly amount for each patient on the plan regardless if the patient ever has any work done, in a DMO plan. A DMO may be a more affordable dental insurance option, but DMO plans because of their low reimbursement they tend to promote less than ideal dental care as the dental office has very low incentive to provide routine hygiene and preventive services. Kathleen Kasper D.D.S, does not participate in any DMO plans at this time.

Kathleen Kasper D.D.S. Is currently participating in three PPO plans which are Metlife, Delta Dental Premiere and Cigna Dental Radius.
Many employers are beginning to offer Direct Reimbursement plans because they allow an employee to choose any dentist they wish. With these plans, patients receive reimbursement directly from their employers for any dental procedures. The company manages these plans internally, allowing them to save a great deal of money. Direct Reimbursement plans offer employees more options and control over their dental care choices, as well as lower internal costs for companies and less insurance headaches for patients and dental offices alike.
