Is health insurance also considered dental insurance?
In the private benefits market, 97% of all dental benefits are provided under separate policies of coverage by carriers that specialize in dental benefits. Why? Dental has a separate set of procedure codes for billing treatment and dentists typically practice in a solo or small practice setting focused on dentistry. And dental disease is limited to two main categories--tooth decay (caries) and gum disease (periodontal disease). As a result, it takes focused knowledge, IT systems and outreach to dental offices to develop and administer dental benefits. If a medical plan includes any dental benefits in a health policy, those benefits are usually very limited, i.e. a small reimbursement for a dental office visit and perhaps for filling of cavities. Dental policies typically have broader coverage.
