Answer: When choosing a network dentist within an HMO dental insurance plan here are a few tips you may want to keep in mind.
1) Call the provider to confirm they are still accepting the plan and new members
2) Make sure that you have more then one provider in the plan that you would be willing to go to. This is in case you ever wish to change providers.
