What is Dental Insurance?
Dental Insurance is generally provided by the employers to their employees. In a dental insurance a monthly premium has paid to the dental insurance company. A pre-determined amount of coverage is provided to individual or family depending on the premium paid. The employers subscribes to the dental insurance in order to provide the coverage to their employees and their families. Though premium is generally paid by the employees, sometimes the employers might pay for some basic cover for their employee as a employment perk.
Dental Insurance is not easily available to individuals and families on their own. In most cases only when the employers provides this dental cover are they eligible for such an dental insurance. As monthly premiums are paid for this type of cover it is cosidered true dental insurance.
Some of advantages of dental insurance is it is provided by the employer hence employees do not have to worry about how to go about applying for it and qualifying for it etc. Dental insurance usually covers the cost of preventive treatments like cleanings and exams at 100% after the initial deductibles are met. Also, you can go to any dentist you like and not be restricted by the closed panel of dentists that some dental plans insists on.
There are some disadvantages to dental insurance like annual spending maximums, deductibles, waiting periods for certain procedures, and limitations and exclusions on care. Apart from this we need to fill the claims forms and submit them in order to get back the money we paid for the procedures. Annual deductibles can be from $25 to $50 per covered individual, depending on the policy.
When you are calculating the cost of dental insurance cover always take into consideration the deductible costs. For individuals the premiums can be $30 per month for individuals and over $100 per month for family dental insurance
