Dental and Vision Insurance
We offer a few different companies for dental and vision because everyone’s situation and needs are unique.
One thing to keep in mind is that when you use dental coverage, the service you are receiving is “re-priced”. In other words, you receive a discount price on whatever you are doing and then the % of coverage is applied. That initial repricing can be a huge benefit. Additionally, when you use a dentist who is not in-network, the insurance company pays at a rate that they consider “reasonable and customary”. If your dentist does not accept this pricing, they can balance bill you. For these reasons, it is always best if your dentist participates and is in-network for whichever plan you select.
If you require a little help narrowing it down, give us a call — we’re happy to help!
