How much does Delta Dental Premier pay towards wisdom teeth extractions?

If you have Delta Dental Premier as your dental insurer and/or have personal experience with the workings of dental insurance companies, it would be greatly appreciated. The codes for the extractions are 7230 and 7240 if these are of any use. Thanks!
--------------------
You could call your dentist and they could probably tell you. My dentist always let me know the prices ahead of time or you could try calling Delta dental.

Medical Discount Plan ideal for those who cannot afford or qualify for traditional health insurance. The companies offer discounted health services for a quite low monthly fee. Benefits include a range of discounts for doctors, hospitals, dental, vision, prescriptions, vitamins, as well as other health services. Individual & Family Health Plans This is a major health insurance plan for individuals and families. If you are looking for comprehensive long term health insurance coverage for yourself and/or your family members who are 62 years old or younger - this is the plan to choose. Short Term Medical Plans This plan is ideal for individuals in transition. Maybe you have just graduated from college and are no longer covered under your student health insurance or you moved out on your own, and you're no longer covered under your parents' medical insurance plan. Or perhaps you're employed part-time, going to school, leaving home for the first time, or even retiring early. Maybe you've found a new job, but your new employer's group health insurance plan won't kick in until you've been with months. Common situation you met like many other people,be patient,and check the resource here    www.HealthInsuranceFree.info    i found very useful for me to solve my similiar problem.

Do You Know Any Affordable NY/NJ Dental/Health Insurance Plans?

My father's company insurance plan will no longer cover me as a dependent. I need to find some sort of dental/health insurance of my own. My status is as follows: I live in NY My parents live in NJ I am self-employed out of MD My father claims me as a dependent on his taxes I am presently a part-time student...and will be a full-time student in Fall 2008. What can I do with this...to make something happen? :-)
--------------------
Check with your University. They probably have an affordable healthcare plan or if you want to gamble set up your own medical savings account and pay for your bills cash. Most doctors will give you a discount of like 25% for not having to do any paperwork. Actuarialists will tell you that insurance is a joke until you hit 42 when the incidents of claims begin to rise. Up until then they are making money off of you for nothing. Calculate what you spend for drugs and doctor's appointments without insurance versus what you pay for insurance plus co pay and what you learn is that you pay more for insurance than you do for drugs and doctors visits. But then again, if you find out that I am wrong in your case, check out the University or get another job solely for the insurance. Personal insurance is a ripoff. Group insurance is the way to go. The University qualifies as a group.

Does dental insurance pay for braces?

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia
--------------------
Most insurance companies will cover some of the cost, up to age 18 (like if you're on your parent's plan). After age 18, you are usually on your own. I think they assume that if you're over age 18, you are choosing to do it for cosmetic reasons (b/c it wasn't done when you were younger). In fact, even the coverage before age 18 doesn't cover that much of the cost. My hubs works for a very large insurance company, and our dental coverage covers up to $1000 yearly, for up to 3 years, if you're under 18. After that, it's not covered (straight out of pocket). Call the member services number on your health care id card, and they will give you your plan's specific coverages. Good luck.

Pediatrician appointment with no insurance- do you pay before your visit or can you be billed?

My husband was laid off from his job that had health and dental insurance and and I have no money to bring my baby to her appointment to get her shots. We don't qualify for medicaid because he makes just over the limit for any help. JUST over. What do I do?
--------------------
I think my pediatrician charges $60 or so for a 'well baby' visit with no shots. I'd just call and ask about the billing and how much it will be. But if I really couldn't afford it, I would call the Health Department... I think it's free or really cheap and could get you by for now.

We do not have dental insurance. My back molar will need a root canal and a crown for a total cost of $1900.00

Is it better to have it pulled or absorb the cost. Since we don't have insurance, it is going to "hurt"......
--------------------
As much as I would not want to lose a tooth- I think my budget would win.

i need to have major dental work done. I broke 2 teeth almost completely off. I lost my insurance at work?

I dont have alot of money to pay upfront but can make payments. Trying to find a dentist to work with me without insurance has been rough

Does anyone know anything about dental bridges as far as process and cost before insurance kicks in.?

Even a few ballpark figures would be of a big help, since I have absolutely no idea what to expect. My insurance would cover 60%.
--------------------
Bridges cost about $800 per unit (1 unit = 1 crown), so a 3-unit bridge (usually the minimum), would be about $2400. A single tooth implant, which is often a better alternative, runs about $3000. Insurance will often pay about 50% of the bridge up to your maximum (often $1500). Best wishes.

Who to call about improving the Postal employees dental coverage?

We have the worst dental coverage there is.My husbanbd works for the Post office,we have Blue cross blue shield and they cover basically nothing and what they do cover they cover by maybe $12! We tried to find a separate dental insurance but it isn't offered anywhere,just dental rebates.Why does the Post office not offer a better dental plan? We had Blue cross before with a different employer and they covered almost all except for crowns and if we did pay a part it was nominal.It is really the Post office that decides the contract and coverage for their employees.Is there any hope that I can contact anyone to ask for improvement?

They can but they wount

Best dental insurance?

What is a suggested insurance that you can count on?
--------------------
Dental Insurance often gets a bad rap, but I found a plan that is great, covers you immediately, no waiting periods, see any dentist you choose, not a preferred provider, and you only have to meet the $100 deductible once, not every year. Under 25 bucks a month, totally worth it. Go to www.BestForLessDental.com it is a comprehensive dental plan, not just discounts, and it really is a great plan.

elimination period versus waiting period in dental insurance?

Is there a difference between the two, if so which is better? p.s. I also posted this in the health section so please dont report me for posting same question twice as I wasn't sure which place would be better thanks
--------------------
Hello - an elimination period is a term used for disability insurance. You may have a waiting period for major services on the dental plan, up to 12 months. Whoever is handling the insurance for you or the company you work for should be able to give you the particular plan benefits.

How can someone get help with dental work that is needed "killer tooth pain" with no insurance, no money forit?

and nowhere near a dental school and not even close to a state that has one
--------------------
well go to a dental clinic the doctor i work for volunteers at a dental clinic every friday for people that cant afford dental treatment. your tooth is probably abcessed so the only way the pain will go away is by getting some antibiotics the pain should go away within 3 days but you will need to get the tooth taken out before the medicine leaves your system. you should really call a dentist should only cost about $80 for an exam and xray.

Roughly how much does dental bonding cost per tooth?

I know it depends on the amount of work needed to be done, but say its not a lot of work and you already have good teeth and are just getting bonding to fix stains or change the shape of them like I want to do for my four front top teeth... then in that case how much would it be? Also, I dont have dental insurance and plan on paying outta pocket... can I do that?

I don't have dental insurance. I am having problems with my gums bleeding at night.?

Is there a home remedy for this?
--------------------
If your gums are bleeding then you aren't flossing enough or right. Make sure you go as far up and around the tooth as you can. I like Glide Tape for this. Also use a rubber tip to get in between the back teeth on the inside. I'm always surprized as to how much is on the tip even after flossing. There is also an electric toothbrush called Rotadent which has pointed bristles..works great! While your gums are sore and bleeding, swish with warm salted water several times a day.

What is someone wants braces but can't afford it and doesn't have dental insurance?

How can they go about getting their teeth straightened? =(
--------------------
If you have dentist already, belive it or not, some of them will let you make monthly payments. Talk to your dentist. Otherwise you need to ask the cost and try to save up enough to pay for it on your own. Good luck!

dental work has become loose,can you help?

I know i need to see the dentist again but i had a crown done a few years ago and now it is loose.Any time now it is going to fall out.Tt is a front tooth.Is their any type of temporary way i can glue it back in til i see the dentist? Since my dental insurance sucks i have to pay a large co-pay.so i was planning on using my tax return to pay for the dental work.Which i have not received yet.
--------------------
See the dentist for evaluation. He will see what's going on under the crown. Perhaps nothing, and it can be re cemented back on. Maybe there is some decay under it that caused it to become loose. If so he can just remove the decay before it gets worse and temporarily cement the old crown to place until you can afford a new one. He also would be able to give you an estimate factoring in your insurance, on any future work on the tooth. That is your best, safest, ans least expensive solution at this time. Good luck
