How Dental Insurance works:
Discount Plans has been around for a long time, but many consumers do not
understand the difference between dental plans and dental insurance. First let’s
explain how dental insurance works. With dentalinsurance the dental patient pays
a monthly premium, typically $50 - $150 or more per month. When ever the insured
patient visits the Dentist, the dental insurance company pays a portion of the dental
bill, usually with a direct payment to the Dentist. The dental insured client usually
will have a deductible of $100 or more which must be paid out before the Insurance
Company pays. Once the deductible is met, the insurance company will typically pay out
between 50-80% of the dental bills, and that will vary depending on the type of dental
procedure. With dental insurance there are usually exemptions, where certain types of
costly dental procedures are no covered, such as dental braces or cosmetic dental procedures.
Of the dental work that is covered there may also be waiting periods, before certains
procedues can be done. Then the final downside of dental insurance is the fact that there are annual limits on the serices. These limits, exlusions and caps on the service are essential to the dental insuranc policy, otherwise the Insurance Company could be liable for more money that they take in and eventually fo out of business.
A Better Option with Discount Dental Plans:
One of the options to consumers is the Discount Dental Plan. In fact many Dental
and Health Insurance companies today are offering discounted dental plans to their
clients. Discount Dental Plans are less costly to consumers as they pay a lower
monthly premium. Instead of paying the Dentist every time a dental procedure occurs,
the Discount Dental Plan Organization contracts with local Dentists to provide their
sercices at a discounted rate.
Why would a Dentist accept a discounted fee for services? Dentists are willing to
provide dental discounts, because the dental plan member, pays the discounted dental
fee at the time of service. The prompt payment by the dental patient, eliminates to
need to deal with the costly aspects of dental insurance billing. There is no paperwork.
The Discount Dental Plan Company previously known as a Dental Referral Service, also
eliminates the need for the Dentist to pay advertising costs, as the company sends
the Dentist a steady stream of new patients.
The Discount Dental Plan concept works so well for the Dentists, that they are willing
to provide deep dental discounts usually between 25-80% in most areas. The amount of
the dental discount depends on the procedure. Bottom line with a discount dental plan,
the Dentist and Dental Plan Member both win. Get your own Discount Dental Plan today?
