Dental discounts you can use with your current insurance?

I currently have pretty good dental insurance but I want to save more with fillings and crowns etc. Will the dentist let you use a dental discount plan w/ your current insurance?

Dental discounts you can use with your current insurance?
Dolly, That is a great question! There are 100 of thousands


of dentists just in the United States and they each run their


businesses in a different way. I have heard that some will


combine a discount plan like e Health Plus with the insurance


and give you a better price than any one plan would give you


on its own. Some


dentists will give you a price that is lower than negotiated.


It is a free country, so you will just have to try and see for


yourself. It is definitely possible to save more than what


your insurance would save you.
Reply:I doubt it. If the dentist has patients coming from dental insurance plans, why would they throw away a big portion of their fees by accepting these plans?





Do the math: most dental practices have between 65% to 70% overhead expenses. That means they are only making 30% to 35% profit after they pay the bills. Why would any reasonable person reduce the money they take home by half?





The only reason a dentist would give away their bread and butter is if they can't get patients any other way.
Reply:It definatley does depend on the dentist. The plan that I have works at participating dentists and does a pretty good job. e-mail me if you have any further questions.
