Dental insurance is garbage. And its just going to keep getting worse. Check out this gem we recieved last week. I like how they tell us the coverages and such are going down like we should all be thankful and ecstatic about it.

All Dental Insurance Sucks !!!!!!!

Usually it's 50/50 up to $1,500 then it's all on you.

Um, that highlighted area is due to Obamacare. Dental insurers still have the normal plans.

Get this, we have to offer lower coverage through obamacare. However, we still have our normal plans available. Make sense. Yeah, not to me either.

For the OP, not all dental codes are covered services with a DHMO plan. For those that aren't sometimes the policy allows you to receive non-covered services at a discount. The dentist nor the insurance company is ripping you off without further information.

Having said that, DHMO dentists are famous for adding services that aren't covered so that they can collect more $$$ from the patient. They try to make up for lost revenue from taking DHMO plans.

DHMO dentists are funny though. They love them some capitation checks but hate seeing DHMO patients.

Oh, what do you expect for $8-$16/month. Take the PPO plan next time.
