does anyone know if this is right about elimination periods with dental insurance?

because I thought an elimination period was when you could get dental work done before the elimination period was over and they would cover the procedure you had done once you elapsed the elimination period even though the procedure was done before the elimination period expired... as long as you maintained the same insurance

In over 17years of selling Health Insurance, I have sold less than 1% of Dental Insurance- why? because most plans have fee schedule or wait periods that I think are ridiculous. Most agents don't realize this, so how can the public. Here is my advice, prior to going in for any procedure- 'GET PRE-AUTHORIZATION".. in writing is best!!!
