Choosing the Right Supplemental Dental Insurance Plan
Summary
While many insurance plans include dental coverage, they often fail to cover all related expenses, leaving you out of pocket. Assuming your insurance fully covers dental costs can be a costly mistake. Often, dental insurance plans focus on significant treatment expenses, overlooking minor, yet accumulating, costs. Supplemental dental insurance can bridge this gap.
Understanding Supplemental Dental Insurance
Supplemental dental insurance is not a standalone policy but complements your primary health or dental insurance by covering costs not included in your main plan.
Dental Discount Plans
Designed to lower dental expenses, these plans work by negotiating reduced rates with dentists in exchange for patient volume. Though not traditional insurance, they offer substantial savings passed on to you. You pay a small regular fee, often as low as $5, to a service provider in exchange for these discounts.
- Benefits for Students: Many colleges offer discount dental plans that provide limited benefits such as cleanings, fluoride treatments, x-rays, and emergency care for pain relief.
Preferred Provider Network
This popular option allows you to choose from a network of dentists offering discounted rates. The plan pays a set fee for services, and you cover the remaining balance. This combination ensures lower out-of-pocket costs while maintaining access to quality care.
Making the Right Choice
Each supplemental plan has unique features, but they generally fall into one of these categories or combine aspects of both. Evaluate your needs and current coverage to determine the right supplemental plan for you.
