The Delta Care Dental HMO (DHMO) differs from the DPO in the way it provides dental care . The DHMO, which is administered by PMI, an affiliate of Delta Dental, works just like a medical HMO. It provides cove rage for preventive, basic and major care services through its network of dental care providers. Except in emergencies, you and your covered dependents must receive all your dental care from the DHMO network of dentists in order to receive benefits. Currently, there are no deductibles or copays for most diagnostic and preventive services or basic restoration services, no annual benefit maximum for general services - and no claim form s to file.

When you enroll in the DHMO, you must choose a primary care dentist (PCD) from the DHMO network for yourself and each family member you cover. You must see your PCD first, each time you need dental care.
