Save Money On Dental Costs With A Dental Savings Plan ~ Giveaway

Everyone talks about the rising cost of health insurance these days (don’t get me started), but if you’ve looked at a dental insurance policy then you know dental insurance costs are also on the rise. Even if you aren’t scared of the dentist, you may be terrified of the bill at the end of the visit. Wowzers! Dental care is expensive.

Having worked in HR for years and analyzed countless dental insurance plans, I know that unless the plan is subsidized by the company you work for dental insurance plans are expensive. What’s more, unless you have a major procedure done, high deductibles and co-pays most likely mean that you pay more for insurance than you save. This means you pay for expensive insurance and expensive procedures. That’s why alternative dental savings plans are a reasonable option.

Unlike traditional dental insurance where you pay a deductible/co-pay and the rest is paid by the insurance company (at a discounted rate), with a dental savings plan you pay the discounted rate at time of service – nothing additional is paid by the discount dental plan network. The way this works is that the discount dental plan network works with local dentists to negotiate a discounted rate on services for its customers so that you save money. The annual membership fee you pay grants you access to the discounted rates negotiated. This is how dental savings plans can be considerably less expensive than dental insurance plans. Plus, since you don’t have to reach a deductible to receive the savings, you can start saving money on dental procedures right away.

Of course, like insurance not all dentists participate in a dental savings plans so it is important to do your homework to make sure your dentist is part of the group that offers a discount with the program. Luckily at DentalPlans.com, it is easy to look up your dentist to see if they participate. If not, you will find tons of other dentists in your area that do, and since the savings can be tremendous it might be time to find a new dentist.

At DentalPlans.com you will find dental savings plans that start at $79.95 per year for an individual and $129.95 per year for a family. For a family of four, that’s less than $11 a month to access the discounted dental services. (Far less than a dental insurance policy.) Plus, right now DentalPlans.com is having a promo for three-months free when you sign up for a plan, so that works out to be less than $9 a month for that same family of four. (Note, family plans start at $129.95, plans in my area were more, FYI.) Want even more savings? Use the coupon code SUB10 to save 10% off your plan.
