A healthy smile is a beautiful one. Dental insurance is a way to help you afford dental care but there are other ways to help you as well.
Dental insurance plans are complicated, but if you understand some of the lingo you’ll be better prepared to maximize your coverage. Some of the most common insurance plan terms include:
- Premium – the monthly amount you and your employer pay for insurance coverage
- Maximum – the highest amount your dental plan will pay in a given year
- Deductible – the amount you will need to pay before your dental insurance coverage begins
Care Credit, Alpheon, Lending Tree- Health credit cards that are interest-free to the patient for defined terms.
