We get a lot of requests for information about dental insurance from individuals and employers. Proper oral hygiene is very important for overall health and dental insurance can play a part in the financial management of dental care. When considering the purchase of dental insurance, there are a couple of key considerations for individuals and employers.
- What’s the network?
- Is my dentist in the network?
- What happens if I go to an out-of-network dentist?
- Are there waiting periods?
- What’s my deductible?
- What’s the maximum benefit?
- What is covered?
- What is excluded from the policy?
The Affordable Care Act does mandate pediatric dental and vision coverage as a component of most health insurance policies. Prior to purchasing additional coverage for children, we recommend investigating the coverage that may be built into your existing health coverage for them.
