Joining New Dental Insurance Plans

Are you considering participating in a new FFS dental plan?

Here is another item to consider:

One of our clients asked us about a plan she was considering in which the diagnostic and preventative benefits were extremely low: at about the 50th percentile for that geographic area. However, those were the only services that were covered.

Which meant that every other service: restorative, endodontics, periodontics, prosthetics - you get the picture - were not covered: she could charge her normal fee for those! So for accepting a discount on some of the basic procedures, she was receiving full fee on the other ones.

A perfect example of the plan that covers few services and the dentist benefits.
