Understanding How Dental Insurance Works
There are a few main terms that you should know to better understand your dental insurance and how your coverage works:
- Maximum: Your maximum is a capped-off amount of money that your insurance will pay for dental treatments over the course of a calendar year.
- Deductible: The deductible is a set amount of money that your insurance requires you to pay out-of-pocket before your benefits will kick-in.
- Premium: The premium is the monthly or annual amount you pay for your benefits.
- In-Network: An in-network provider is a dentist who has negotiated discounted rates and fees with your insurance companies to pass savings on to you.
What Does My Dental Insurance Cover?
It’s important to keep in mind that every dental insurance plan varies, and to make sure that yours covers the treatment you need it to, you’ll need to call your insurance company directly. However, most plans determine coverage based on a 100-80-50 structure. This means that they cover 100 percent of the cost preventive care, like checkups and cleanings, 80 percent of basic treatments, like cavity fillings, and 50 percent of more serious procedures, like tooth extractions.
