Why does dental insurance not pay for implants?

Typically Medicare will not pay for dental implants. Medicare may possibly pay for the dental implants if reconstruction of the jaw or mouth was required.

You can receive highly affordable dental implants by finding the right Dental insurance plan and dentist. Some insurance companies will cover most if not all of your dental implants.

Coverage for dental implants varies from one insurance company to another. Most of the insurance policies provide some coverage for the restorative procedure. You can ask your insurance provider if dental implants are covered or not.

Regular health insurance does not typically cover dental implants. One would need to obtain a separate dental insurance for any dentistry related work.

You can get help paying for dental implants depending on your coverage plan. Many insurance companies don't offer implants as a coverage but discount dental plans do! Make sure you have the right insurance plan that fits your needs.

I found that implants are covered once every seven years but there seems to be many limitations associated with the implant procedure. Always contact your dental insurance provider to double check what is covered and what is considered a limitation.

Each state has different coverage. For example, in California, Florida, New York, New Jersey and Texas, Dental Implants are covered. Always check with your Dental Insurance provider to get a full list of coverage.

Getting covered or low cost dental implants will depend highly on your insurance company and plan. Consult with both your insurance provider and preferred dentist to discuss your coverage and payment options.

Medicare covers the essential part of a medicare-covered procedure. They may cover dental implants if it is part of a reconstructive surgery post injury but it does not cover the cost of dental implants for a simple replacement of a tooth.

Delta Dental insurance does include coverage for implants, subject to some limitations, in its quotes to employers and purchasers. Some opt however to remove this coverage to reduce their annual premium cost.

Some of the websites that offer prices for dental implants include Dental Implants Mex, 99 Dental Implants, and Dental Art Tijuana. 1400 Implant and Dental Choice are a couple of others who offer prices for dental implants.

"For a low cost dental insurance plan, expect to pay $0-$15. For the Dental PPO or PDN, or for the Dental Indemenity, you will not pay a co-pay when you visit the dentist."

Depending on your insurance company and the type of plan you've selected, you may be eligible to have some if not all of your implants covered by insurance. Before consulting your dentist about getting implants, reach out to your insurance provider to see what is included in your plan.

According to WebMD, dental implants aren't currently covered under most dental policies. However, some medical policies will cover the procedure. Check with your insurance provider and your dentist. Dentalsite.com can give discount ideas.

According to a 2008 survey by the National Association of Dental Plans, there are 8 or 9 carriers the include coverage for dental implants in their group dental insurance products. Sometimes it is part of base coverage and sometimes an additional benefit that your employer must request. So check your policy and if it is not covered, ask you employer if it can be added. Implants are not generally a part of individual dental insurance coverage. But, discounts on implants may be a part of discount dental plans that you can buy on an individual basis. To find an individual discount dental plan, go to the NADP website--www.nadp.org--and use the Dental Plan Directory to look up the names of companies that provide "discount dental plans" in your state.

To find companies in your state that provide dental insurance or dental discount plans, go to the National Association of Dental Plans site (www.nadp.org) which has a directory of companies that offer dental insurance. The directory can be searched by state and you can select "individual" and get the list of just those companies that provide individual dental insurance in your state. The listing also tells you if the company provides dental HMO, dental PPO, dental indemnity (traditional insurance without a network) or a discount plan (not insurance but a discount off the dentist's fees who are part of the discount network). * Unlike most dental procedures, you can expect to pay 100% of the cost of a cosmetic procedure out of your own pocket. Your dental insurance company will typically not pay for purely cosmetic procedures. Usually, insurance only covers the costs of procedures required for a functional purpose. In cases where there is both a functional and cosmetic need for a procedure, e.g. crowns that protect and improve the appearance of your teeth, and insurance companies typically only covers the amount required to protect the tooth. * Your best bet it to shop around for the best prices for implants. * Actually, more dental plans are adding coverage for implants as an alternate to a bridge or for a single tooth space. A 2008 report by the National Association of Dental Plans found that most Dental PPO and Dental Indemnity Plans of the reporting companies either include implants in standard coverage or offer it as an added benefit. Health insurance companies generally do not provide coverage of dental procedures except for oral surgery that results from an accident or injury.
