Finding ways to tackle dental health issues often leads to a new jersey pattern of dental insurance plans, but not all is well, even in countries with a well-developed health insurance system. The report "2013 Annual Dental Care Affordability and Accessibility Survey" on the results of operating such a system in the United States is an example.
It turned out that around 70% of the uninsured and more than 50% of the insured survey respondents stated that they had delayed dental treatment in the past due to the high cost. Almost half of the US population (148 million) does not have dental insurance. 56% of the respondents did not apply for preventive care and 18% had not been to the dentist in the last ten years. In addition, the survey showed that the high cost of treatment and transparency of steel prices in 2013 were the main reasons that prevented both insured and uninsured Americans from searching for the best dental insurance plans for individuals.
What is Dental Insurance?
The dentistry program cannot be purchased separately and always goes in addition to the standard Vhi policy. The usual list of dental services usually includes:
• consultation and diagnosis;
• diagnostic studies, including X-rays;
• therapy (bruise and pulpitis treatment, nerve removal and anesthesia);
• operation;
• treatment of the oral mucosa;
• 24-hour emergency care;
• removal of plaque and stone;
• covering the teeth with fluorinated varnishes (this is done no more than once or twice a year).
The list of services covered by standard health insurance looks astounding, but sometimes you can contact the insurer and include implantation services or prosthetics. Agree to afford this type of treatment, so the patient must carefully read the insurance contract. Almost always, VHI policies restrict the clinic's actions and agree to pay for prostheses only in emergencies, for example, for maxillofacial injuries.
If the fitting of the prosthesis is associated with more common causes, such as tooth decay, the entire patient will have to pay out of pocket for the treatment. In addition, it may not be justified to overestimate the cost of the policy, as the service may not be needed for the entire insurance period.
In what situations is the Vhi policy with a dental program useful and useful? Dentistry and health insurance are suitable for people with moderately problematic teeth; Those whose contact with the dentist is limited to one or three visits a year, or if you want to not neglect dental insurance too much, get your teeth in order.
