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.

Are dental plans required to provide certificates of creditable coverage?
The purpose of a certificate of creditable coverage is to assure that pre-existing conditions are not excluded in your next policy of coverage. Since a dental procedure in process like a crown is completed by the previous carrier even after the expiration of a policy and dental policies rarely exclude other pre-existing conditions (except perhaps for missing teeth), there is no reason to issue this certificate. The federal law that requires the issuance of this certificate applies to medical carriers issuing health policies not dental insurers.
Does Delta Dental of California offer dental implant coverage?
Yes, providing the employer and/or group program sponsor has opted to include this benefit in the scope of benefits negotiated with Delta Dental.

Delta Dentists also know how to call-in or check by web on behalf of their patients to see when they are entitled to this coverage, and what its limitations are. Delta Dental always quotes benefit programs that include implant coverage, subject to the annual maximum, but some group clients opt out of this coverage in order to reduce their costs.
What percentage of the US Population is covered by a dental insurance plan?
According to the recently released annual report, NADP/DDPA 2010 Dental Benefits Report: Enrollment, 53% of the population in the US had dental benefits at year-end 2009. This is down from 57% for the past several years. There was not a decrease in the number of businesses offering dental benefits. And since 97% of the dental benefits in the US are provided through employment, the decrease reflects both lower employment and employees that are paying a large portion of the premium themselves dropping coverage. In total roughly 10 million Americans lost coverage in 2009.
