When buying your own dental insurance what should I be aware of?

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

I am a student and a veteran. I need my wisdom teeth out and the VA does not cover dental after the initial post service exam. Looking at dental insurance online and would appreciate any intel. Thanks.

Most dental insurance will take around 6 months to even be active after a series of monthly payments. If its just your wisdom teeth, then I would encourage you to visit this great site: www.healthsavings.ourperfectcard.com I signed up online over 5 years ago and they have saved me thousands of dollars on all services. From my braces and wisdom teeth extractions. I was quoted $2200, but ended up only paying $1000. They even had my extremely affordable plan active in 2 hours and was able to use them the very same day since mine was an emergency. Hope this helps.

What are some tips for first time dental insurance buyers to avoid rip offs and scams?

Friday, March 5th, 2010

never having bought dental insurance before can be scary, anyone have any tips to avoid misunderstandings, and high costs, and things like this ? Corporations clearly can trick people to get into their pocket books big time, so what are some things to look out for and avoid when you have never bought dental insurance before? (In California if it matters)

Normally, dental insurance is NOT a good buy. Dental insurance typically only covers 50% of the work, has a very low yearly limit ($1000-$2000), and each procedure has a deductible attached (usually about $50). For the price it doesn’t cover itself.

I’m a self-employed so there is no "company benefits" and my dad is an insurance salesperson. There is NO WAY I can go a day without medical insurance. He WILL NOT sale me dental insurance because it just isn’t worth the money.

Also, my dentist discounts everything now that I don’t have dental insurance. I didn’t ask for this; he just started doing it.
