Preferred Provider Organization (PPO)** or Participating Dental Network (PDN)

With these plans, you can visit any dentist you want. You never need a referral. But costs usually are lower if you choose a dentist who is part of the PPO or PDN. Deductibles and annual maximums may apply.

David: Hi, I’m David, and this is Aetna’s Dental Preferred Provider Organization, or PPO*.

The PPO gives you great coverage: preventive care (like check-ups, cleanings and x-rays) is almost always 100 hundred percent covered. And there’s coverage for basic care, like fillings, and major care, like root canals and crowns. If you need to see a specialist, you can see any licensed dentist you’d like, without a referral.

The PPO gives you the flexibility to see any dentist you’d like, at any time; but, this is where the term “preferred” comes in.  The PPO has a network of dentists who have agreed to negotiated rates for Aetna’s members, including over 215,000 available dental practice locations**.  See a network dentist, and your final cost will typically be lower, letting you stretch your annual maximum even further.

That’s Aetna’s Dental PPO.
