Understanding How Dental Insurance Works
In order to understand how dental insurance works, it’s a good idea to commit a few terms to memory:
- The maximum is a capped-off amount of money that your dental insurance company will pay out for your treatments over the course of a calendar year.
- The deductible is an amount of money that your insurance company requires you to pay out of your pocket before your benefits kick-in. This amount can vary from plan-to-plan, so be sure to call your provider to find out what it is.
- The premium is the monthly or annual amount that you pay to receive benefits.
What Does Your Dental Insurance Plan Cover?
Dental insurance plans vary greatly from person-to-person, which is why it’s important to call your insurance provider directly if you’d like to learn whether a particular treatment will be covered. That being said, most plans determine benefits based on a 100-80-50 structure. This means that they cover 100 percent of preventive care like checkups and cleanings, 80 percent of basic treatments like cavity fillings, and 50 percent of more serious procedures like root canal therapy.
