California Dental- Dental Indemnity Insurance Plans

08/01/19 9:29 AM

This is the plan where you choose your own individual or family dentist. The dental insurance plan pays the dental office on a traditional fee-for-service basis. A monthly premium is paid by the client and/or the employer to an insurance company, which then reimburses them for the services rendered.

A dental insurance company usually pays between 50% – 80% of the family or individual dental office fees for a covered procedures; the remaining 50% – 20% is paid by the client. These plans often have a pre-determined or set deductible amount which varies from plan to plan. Indemnity dental plans also can limit the amount of services covered within a given year and pay them based on a variety of fee schedules. Some typical features of these plans:

  • High deductibles before coverage begins (well-designed plans don’t apply the deductible to preventive services)
  • Probationary periods on certain procedures that last up to a year
  • Annual dollar limit on benefits
  • Chose your own individual or family dentist
  • Your average monthly cost: $55 and up
  • Companies selling these plans are regulated by state insurance departments
