Dental Insurance, free choice of dentist.
I have a dental insurance plan that lets me go to any dentist I want. I have no really complaints about my dental insurance. However the dentist I seem to have in my area are over priced and I get hit with UCR fees all the time. I am getting fed up with the dentist around here charging so much only because there are not too many dentist locally.
However there is a dental school that is about a twenty mintue drive from me and I am thinking that I would like to go there. Since I am told that dental school are normally much cheaper then general dentist anyway. My question is since I have insurance could I still go to a dental school and be covered. If so I know that I would not have to worry about UCR fee again.

Off hand since you have a dental insurance plan where you can choose your own dentist I do not see why you can not go to the dental school and have your dental insurance too.
However I would call your insurance company before doing anything just to confirm there is no issues with doing that.

You may also want to call the dental school in question and confirm with them if they take dental insurance. Since they are a school they may only do things of a cash bases.
