Always check the plan’s benefit table for exact coverage percentages, annual maximums, and any waiting periods that apply to major services.

How to choose a plan

When selecting a plan, weigh the following factors:

Request a sample claim form and a provider list before enrolling so you can confirm whether your preferred dentist participates and how claims are processed.

Billing, claims, and out-of-network care

In-network providers usually submit claims on your behalf and accept the plan’s negotiated fee. If you use an out-of-network dentist, you may be billed for the difference between the provider’s fee and the plan’s allowance in addition to any required co-insurance.

Ask the billing office to estimate the patient portion before major work begins. For larger procedures, request a pre-treatment estimate from the insurer so you understand the expected out-of-pocket responsibility.
