In order to take these points into consideration, it is necessary to plan very carefully. For example choosing a dentist is not the same unless the plan chooses a dentist from the "list", or if the plan covers a kind of procedure, your regular dentist is incompetent

Types of dental insurance plan
Tsutsu
The Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan is a plan that patients have to choose a dentist from the list provided to him. These dentists agreed to discount the fee by contract with the insurance company. Some PPO plans are also punished by excessive co-payment and high deductible amount of patients Patients treated by a dentist outside their list usually have compensation plans in their class It is cheaper than.

How does this plan provide emergency treatment? If so, how does the plan provide for emergencies outside the geographic area?
The Plan of Dental Health Organization (DHMO) or Capitation is designed so that there is no fiscal payment expenditure on patients when he goes for treatment. These plans, regardless of their "list", pay a dentist a fixed amount of monthly money for each visiting family, family or individual. Instead, the dentist offers a specific type of treatment to patients who visit him for free and other types of treatment require co-payment. This way, DHMO thereby rewards the dentist to keep the patient at a health keeping costs low. This type of plan is one of the most expensive ones.
Factors to consider while reviewing the DHMO plan.
What is the premium percentage used for management?
Can employers access sufficient information to determine the level and quantity of treatment given to each employee?
What is the usage rate of patients in this plan? We need to be careful about the average wait period of the first appointment and the average period between the schedule.
What is the dentist / patient ratio for the DHMO plan? What are the criteria for program dentist's choice? What is the geographic distribution of the dentist?
Can that proportion participate in the application from the person selected by the dentist? How many dentists withdrew from the program in the recent past?
How much is the dentist 's compensation rate? Is it adequate compensation for the needs of the covered patient group? What are the regulations made for dentists in case of unexpected use?
What are the benefits for patients who need professional care? How are experts elected and compensated? Are there sufficient experts in the plan?
Does the program provide any emergency treatment? If so, is it available outside the geographic area?
Paid service dental plan
The direct redemption (DR) plan is a self-funded dental insurance benefit system that pays back patients after being spent on actual dentistry. It is not based on the type of treatment received. The patient has complete freedom in choosing a dentist. Employers are responsible for paying the actual treatment cost proportion, but they do not need to pay monthly premiums for employees who do not need profits. In addition the employer is free of any responsibility to take decisions on previous plan selection or mode of action by sponsorship. Direct redemption dental insurance plan is the preferred way of dental coverage in the American dental association.
