How We Are Using Our Dental Discount Plan
Two months ago, we posted
about getting a dental discount plan from
DentalPlans.com.
Now I want to share how to use that plan!
When using a dental discount plan, you will be
given a fee schedule with the exact prices you will be charged for
services. Some dentists don't discuss the billing part with you so it
can be a bit hard to see what your final price will be. So when using
a dental discount plan, I suggest using a dentist that tells you the
prices and codes before any work is done. For our family, we use
Aspen Dental because you have a free consultation and the dentist
will tell you their recommendations. Then you'll go into the billing
room and they will tell you the exact prices of everything with your
discount plan.
My husband was able to successfully use our
Careington Care 500 Series plan from DentalPlans.com
for his treatment. His treatment plan included having two wisdom
teeth removed at an oral surgeon, a root scaling treatment, fixing
ten cavities, a crown and a root canal. Before using the dental
discount plan, their estimate for his care was almost $7,000. But
after we applied the Careington Care 500 Series plan, it knocked our
final cost down to $2,995! That final price was much more payable for
us. Another wonderful part of the discount plan is that on your fee
schedule they give you, you will be given the dental codes (ADA
codes) with the prices. When my husband's dentist suggested a crown
on his treatment plan, I looked up the code on our fee schedule to
see the price. The crown she suggested was over $800, but there were
other crowns on the fee schedule that were around $100 instead. So I
was able to ask her to change out that crown for a less expensive
one. That's another perk of having the fee schedule because you can
ask the dentist to change certain things if the prices are too high.
Overall we are super impressed with
DentalPlans.com
and how their dental discount plans have really helped us get dental
work done without insurance.
