I might be a slow learner but I am finally getting a grasp on the nature of discount dental plans. They are an alternative to dental insurance, they are definately not insurance policies. Discount dental plans, although not a dental insurance product, provide individuals, families, businesses and other groups with an invaluable dental benefit. Discount dental plans are an alternative to dental insurance that provide plan members with discounts on most dental services with a strong emphasis on preventive procedures. Discount dental plan members pay a low membership fee for the year for access to a network of participating dentists and dental specialists that provide deep discounts on dental care to dental plan members.
Many individuals and families that do not receive dental insurance from their employers turn to discount dental plans to reduce their out-of-pocket expenses on dental care. Additionally, more businesses are looking toward discount dental plans as an affordable and easy way to provide their employees with a much needed dental benefit.
I have dental insurance at this time, but the facility where I work will be closing and I will loose my dental insurance. I will be looking for a discount dental plan for my area and sign up when I lose my insurance.
