Is Affordable Dental Insurance a Myth?
Summary
Many fear the high costs associated with dental insurance, but is affordable coverage truly out of reach?
Understanding Dental Insurance
Did you know dental visits account for only about five percent of our total healthcare needs each year? This makes dental insurance relatively affordable for many. As a business owner, there are various options to consider when providing dental insurance to employees.
Key Considerations
Cost is a major factor, but cheap plans may not always offer the best value. Here's a breakdown of common coverage types:
- PPO Plans: Offer discounted fees within a network of dentists. Dentists agree to lower fees for the potential of more patients.
- Self-Insurance: Attractive for businesses due to possible cost savings when services aren't used. However, it can be administratively challenging.
- Direct Reimbursement: Similar to self-insurance, employees choose their own dentists, pay upfront, and get reimbursed by the employer. Around 40% of employees may not need dental work yearly, creating potential savings.
- Closed Panel Plans: Limit the number of dentists available, restricting patients’ choices.
- Indemnity Programs: Resemble health insurance plans with the choice of dentist, coverage limits, and co-pays. Employers usually monitor costs for employee groups.
- Capitation: Involves a contract where a specific provider is paid a set amount monthly, regardless of whether services are used.
Conclusion
Dental insurance can indeed be affordable and a valuable perk for employees. Individuals can also find private coverage through brokers or online, often costing less than major medical insurance while ensuring families’ dental needs are met.
