The top three things you need to know about supplemental dental insurance are:
- what it is,
- how it can benefit you, and
- how much it costs.
#1: What Is It?
Supplemental Dental Insurance is a separate dental insurance plan that helps cover dental expenses. It can work with your existing health insurance policy to reduce your out-of-pocket expenses for dental coverage.
#2: How Can It Benefit You?
Supplemental Dental Insurance is a cost-cutting method that can lower the amount of money you owe out-of-pocket when paying for dental work. It can be purchased at very reasonable rates, and some policies provide coverage for services such as orthodontics, teeth whitening, and dental implants. Some supplemental dental insurance plans also offer the following:
- A decrease in out-of-pocket payments
- No annual maximums
- No waiting period
#3: How Much Does It Cost?
According to Forbes, if dental coverage isn’t provided by your employer, dental insurance will run between $12 and $50 a month, per person. Other policies require a yearly fee that then allows you to visit member dentists for reduced rates. These plans can run between $75 and $100 per person each year.
