Be sure to indicate your choice of primary dental office on your enrollment form. How do I know if the medications I take are covered?

With an HMO, all your care must be provided, arranged, or authorized by your primary care physician, and you must use plan providers except in a few emergency situations.

You may have to pay more for services you receive outside the network. |
