How do you Evaluate a Discount Dental Plan?
How do you Evaluate a Discount Dental Plan? I live in New York and I see there are many dental discount plan options. Having to buy a dental plan is new to me and a bit of a pain. How do you evaluate one dental discount plan over another in choosing which dental discount plan is the best one to get. I do not want to get a dental discount plan that is really no good.

You would evaluate a dental discount try to brake them down into three sections. Cost of plan, Dentist in the network and the set fee schedule listed.
Cost of plan is easy though many discount dental plan are not to varied in cost. However a main factor would be the dental provider in the plans net work. Since on a dental discount plan you have to go to dentist that are plan providers. Make sure you have a dentist under the each plan you may want to get for yourself and or family.
Then compare the fee schedule or your discounted cost for dental services listed. From this point they all more or less work the same. On this web site all our dental discount plans start within the next business day of your on line enrollment. They have no waiting periods or year max dollar limits.

Make sure you have a dentist in the plan network. Call the dental office prior to buying a dental plan to confirm they are in fact still accepting the plan in question. Ask any question to the dental office that you need in order to what to go to that dental office.
Compare the fee schedules listed for each plan. I suggest picking out a few dental services on the list that is important to you or what you feel you may need and comparing those instead of trying to review the complete fee schedules for each plan. Then once you have it narrowed down review the complete schedule to pick which plan you feel will fit better for you.
