Understanding How Dental Insurance Works
Dental insurance may seem similar to medical insurance on the surface, but the philosophy behind it is very different. Medical insurance is designed to treat problems that you currently have. Dental insurance does have some coverage for fixing dental damage or treating emergencies, but it’s mostly meant to help pay for checkups and other types of preventive care. The focus on prevention is meant to reduce the risk of serious oral health issues that could cost you and your insurance company more money.
What Your Dental Insurance Plan Covers
Every insurance plan is different, so it’s worth talking to your insurance company to make sure you know the specifics. The most common plan structure is 100-80-50. Under this structure, preventive care receives 100% coverage, minor procedures like filling placement receive 80% coverage, and major treatments like crowns receive 50% coverage. In addition to offering varying coverage levels, some plans might define “minor” and “major” treatments differently, which is why confirming things with your provider is so important.
