Dental Insurance Plans For Dental Financing
Any and all PPO Plans are Accepted at Bauer Dental Center
Not only with payment plans, we also make payments an easy experience and will file insurance claims to your insurance company on your behalf.
PPO - Preferred Provider Organization
PPO insurance provides coverage through a network of contracted medical providers. Members pay less for care within the network, but can also seek care outside the network for a higher cost.
HMO - Health Maintenance Organization
HMO insurance limits coverage to a specific network of health care providers. Often contract with local doctors and hospitals to offer services. Members are usually required to use providers within that network.
