Dental Discount Health Plan

how to choose and use a dental discount program

You are free to use the card at any participating dentist and will be charged a reduced fee. Because the insurance company does not pay any of your dental fees, the cost of a discount plan is lower.

dental discount card advantages:

No waiting period Most dental discount plans can be used right away and are good for one year.

No claims to file There is no paper work to be done by you or your dentist.

No pre authorization Traditional insurance plans sometimes require pre authorization for major dental work such as crowns or bridges. with dental discount plans, your dentist has already agreed to the lower fee so you don't need the approval of your insurance company to have major work done.

Affordable Discount plans are an inexpensive dental insurance option.

Sound too good to be true? A dental discount health plan may be just perfect for you....but be sure to check a few details so you will know for sure.

Before buying a dental discount program:

• Check to see if your dentist participates and ask for his opinion of the plan you are considering.
• Estimate your dental expenses for one year with and without a discount. Does it save you more than the cost of the plan?
• Compare your current dental fees to the discounted fees.
• When changing to a participating dentist, confirm that they accept the discount plan and are accepting new patients. Ask how soon you can get an appointment.
• Consider other insurance plans.
• Ask about your dentist's financial policies. Since participating dentists have already agreed to accept a lower fee for their services you may be required to pay at the time of service.

When purchasing dental insurance, be sure to thoroughly research all your options. It's easy to misunderstand what will be covered and be disappointed in your choice.
