Dental insurance plans vary significantly
Posted By Administrator
Traditional dental insurance were introduced about forty years ago, and the average total annual benefit was $1,000. Unfortunately, this maximum annual benefit hasn’t changed for many plans were built over the decades. If dental insurance annual benefits had mirrored their average rate of inflation, this number would have grown to over $7000 per year by now. Unfortunately, it means that the average dental patient doesn’t have as much treatment covered for each year as he or she did in years past.
The very most common general types of dental insurance are: traditional (or “indemnity”) plans and managed care plans. Many employers have even decided to provide greater benefits to all their employees and savings to the company by using direct reimbursement plans.
