Definitions for "Dental Insurance"
A group Health Insurance contract that provides payment for certain enumerated dental services.
a type of insurance plan that can take care of costs involved in normal dental care as well as costs incurred in treating damaged teeth caused because of accidents
Some companies are not using the word insurance anymore, but a euphimism such as Dental HMO or Preferred Dentist Program. This is because the plans are not technically insurance because there is an explicit annual benefit cap, usually $1000-1500, which does not come close to covering the actual expense of most routine dental procedures. Consumers are advised to be very prudent and knowledgable about preclusions and limitations if they are considering participation in dental programs.
coverage for dental services under a group or individual policy
