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. 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. But what I found was that looking online was be far the superior method of hunting down a good dentist in my area. If you have pre-existing conditions you are still accepts, all of your dental work will be discounted from the dentist's normal charges. The provider list was very comprehensive in my area and there were providers within 3 miles of my house and work. 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. Without these plans, you are stuck paying ridiculous amount of money every time you visit regardless of what you are having done. My kids will be getting braces and we look forward to saving 20% on the entire cost of orthodontic treatment. 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. Looking for a dental plan on the internet used to be very difficult. |
