This really added up to significant savings for me and over the course of a year saved my family $680.00 which more than covered the annual enrollment fee. When looking for a new provider, I found myself going through the yellow pages looking for someone near my house that I could start visiting. I tried to get a traditional individual dental insurance and I was running up against brick walls with the sign-up process and I was told I’d likely have to wait a year to get the plan activated. The provider list was very comprehensive in my area and there were providers within 3 miles of my house and work. But what I found was that looking online was be far the superior method of hunting down a good dentist in my area. If seems that if you do not have a traditional insurance plan through your employer or work, you just simple do not have any type of coverage and you are stuck paying full price. If you have pre-existing conditions you are still accepts, all of your dental work will be discounted from the dentist's normal charges. Comparing the various dental plans in my area was really easy when I could look at them side to side and really see the differences in pricing for different procedures. These discount plans are great because they provide savings on everything from Braces, Gum surgery, Endodontics, and child dentistry. With the discount plan I bought, I was approved with 48 hours and I was seeing my dentist like 2 days after getting my membership. |
