Why are dental insurance plans so bad? Does anyone know why dental insurance plans are so bad? My husband works for the federal government and has United Concordia dental plan and it is horrible. The dental my job offers is no better and I have a state job. The dental insurance plan we have is not cheap but the plan doesn't cover much and actually it is covering less than what it covered 1 year ago and our premiums went up. I really don't know anyone in the private sector who has a decent dental plan either. Why is dental insurance so horrible? Dental insurance is not a luxury and people with families need dental but can't afford to go even with insurance.
I'm looking for independent dental insurance plans that cover out-of-network dentists in CT. Anyone?

Does anyone know of a dental plan that covers out-of-network dentists?

who is the best place to go through for Dental insurance/plans? I am looking for a dental insurance/plan for Roseburg, Oregon. I have never had to find one before.

So much for that permanent cement that they put it in with. Which is still stuck to my teeth.
Why are there no good dental insurance plans? I can buy health coverage - but only "dental discount" plans that really don't help that much. I am not looking for plan names, etc... but the reason why it is hard to find good dental coverage. As a side note, What do you think of Brandon Jacobs?

is there dental insurance/plans that pay for everything? it seems like there are a million dental plans but for the services they offer they only pay like 30% of what it costs so it kind of seems stupid to pay them every month when you're going to be stuck with a huge dental bill anyways. Are there insurances that pay like how health insurance is, if I get a bill from the dr from something health ins didn't pay it's usually just for lab work and everything else was paid in full or close to it.

Paid by both Medical and Dental Insurance plans? Hi guys, My boy friend is getting a surgery on his jaw -- his surgeon explained that the nature of his condition is both dental and medical. In his case, how does he get coverage from his medical and dental insurance? Does he choose one or the other depending on each treatment procedure and respective coverage rate, dedutcible? For example, if he gets CT scan on his jaw, who does he file this claim with? Whichever provides more coverage? Anyone that has knowledge in this are, I would appreciate your input/advice/thoughts.

I have two dental insurance plans. Can my dentist charge both companies for the same procedure? One plan is a PPO at 100% coverage up to $1500.00. The other is an HMO with copays. My dentist is charging both companies for my daughter's root canals. They charged both companies for my 4 crowns AND they want me to pay $750. Are the companies being robbed? I think I am being robbed as well! What do I do? Both plans are being billed the entire amount.

Some folks tell me yes. Some folks told me no insurance company's won't pay if another company paid part, I'm thinking why the heck not? I'm paying both you!

Are there any good dental insurance plans out for Veterans that charge less and give good coverage? I am a Vet who served in Iraq and I don't make much money now. I need to get some good dental coverage. I have found some dental plans out there, but they are not any good. You pay $100 a month and they only pay 30 to 50% of your bill for any Dental visit.

I need an insurance plan that is cheap and affordable and one that will pay more than just a little bit for a Dental visit. My employer will not provide it either.

I need to have four molars "replaced" either via implant or bridge.

When should I add my new baby to my dental insurance plan? I add her to my health insurance within 30 days of her birth. (She's due September 2nd). The next "open enrollment" (when I can add her to dental) will be January 2009. Should I add her then, since that will cover the year she turns one, or wait till the following January? I guess my main question is: I don't need to add her to dental when she's born, like I do for health, right?
Dentists, Dental work, and Dental Insurance plans? For the past 6 or 7 years, Ive largely ignored my dental problems. Ive had bad teeth all my life from taking a medication for seizures. I don't have then anymore, and I'm nolonger on the medication but my bad teeth persist. I rely haven't been able to afford to get my teeth fixed until now, and even now with my son being 6 months old, and all the new expenses I don't have much more than I did before. My dental problems however have gotten to the point where I can no longer afford to put them off any longer. I have two molars with about 1/4 of each tooth missing, and every other tooth in my mouth has some kind of discoloration or hole in it. I'm use to the constant tooth aches by now, so much that I hardly even notice them any more. Indeed I cant even remember what its like for my teeth NOT to hurt. I haven't had any kind of dental insurance, or seen a dentist in years, so some information might be good. Anyone have a plan they can recommend? Any good websites with info? Thanks!
