How the DMO Option Pays Benefits
If you enroll in the DMO Option, you agree to receive care solely from dentists participating in the managed care network. Limited out-of-network coverage may be available based on state mandates or in the case of certain, out-of-area emergencies, as noted below. If you receive any out-of-network care, you must file a claim to receive benefits. Check your Aetna DMO coverage certificate or contact customer service at the number on your ID card for details.
