i have this at work and i pay $13 for it im new
--------------------
If you die your relative will get money from the insurance. Not much because you pay only 13$ If you need to go to the dentist some treatments are under the insurance. Look with the human resources for more details.

Health and vision insurance question
I have United Health Care health insurance and my vision insurance is through Spectera. All of this is through my employer and I also have dental insurance. I receieved a health insurance card from United Health Care, but never receieved a card from Spectera or the dental insurance. Do I just use my United Health Care card when I go to the eye doctor or dentist or was I supposed to get seperate cards for the different insurances? How can I go about getting the cards? Thanks!

Dental Plans Are A Rip Off, What Say You.?
I had one and it was totally useless. Not dental Insurance. Dental Plans, Where you might pay $40.00 to $50.00 to start and then pay $15-$30 per month. I paid for over a year and I went to the dentist. I then called other dentist and told them that I had no insurance or plan and got prises $70-$100 lessthan my plan. What a rip off.
--------------------
I agree with "rip-off" statement. Most dental insurance plans were started in the late 50's early 60's. Many have had very few increases in benefit amounts but have multiple increases in premiums. Therefore, they seem to think that a $1000/yr benefit is appropriate, yet dental prices have risen every year and benefits have not. I really think that most plans are of very little value, the paperwork needed to file a claim is excessive and in the end not worth the premiums payed. Just as a reference a typical crown in the 60's may have been around $200, now expect to pay $700 to $1000 depending on your area. Really not worth the price! Dr. Dan

Searching for a Dental Plan that is NOT a scam?
I need to have several teeth pulled. I currently live in Northwest Indiana. I am a full time student and I do not have any health insurance. I was denied coverage thru medicaid. PLEASE HELP. I am in extreme pain. I need a dental plan that will begin immediately, low start up cost, and one that will accept my pre-exsisting condition. There are so many plans out there I have no idea which is legit or a scam. HELP!

The American Dental Association recommends "care credit", so take a look at this link. You might do to your local dental school - Indiana University School of Dentistry 1121 West Michigan Street Indianapolis, IN 46202 Dean: Dr. Lawrence Goldblatt Phone: (317) 274-7461 Accreditation Status: Approval without Reporting Requirements Last Accreditation Visit: 2006 Next Accreditation Visit: 2013 Web Address: www.iusd.iupui.edu as they charge considerably less for treatment and the students are well trained and supervised. Or, ask someone you know for a recommendation or call offices and inquire if they will work with a payment plan. Perhaps a local clinic with sliding fee scale based on your income could be of help! Hope that helps! JAMRDH - a dental hygienist

prices on dental work?
my dentist recently told me that i need to have 2 root canals and caps, any idea on how much something like this is gonna cost me? I have no dental insurance!!
--------------------
I'm a dentist. Fees vary by region and by tooth. Molar root canals typically range from $650 to $1200. My practice charges $950. Premolar root canals can range from $500 to $900 or so. I charge $750. Anteriors (i.e. incisors and canines) are rarely more than $600 or $700. Crowns, depending on the type of crown, vary as well. Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns as well as all-metal crowns range from $700 to $1200, give or take a couple hundred. All-porcelain crowns (usually used on anterior teeth) can add another $150 to $200. My practice charges $950 for PFMs and $1000 for all-porcelains. Sounds expensive, right? Patients usually gasp when they hear the fees, but they NEVER put it in perspective: To save a badly decayed molar, a patient may spend as much as $2500 (in an expensive area), which is a lot of money up front. Yet, they will very likely keep that tooth another 10 to 20 years. Maybe even longer. Would you be willing to pay $250 a year over 10 years to keep a tooth in your mouth? I sure as hell would. And if that tooth lasts 20 years, the annual cost of keeping it is a mere $125 per year. Sounds a lot more reasonable, doesn't it!
