Dental Insurance For dental insurance there are HMO and Indemnity plans available.
With the HMO plans You have to choose a dentist from their list. However, you get immediate coverage for all work needed, and the benefit is unlimited! HMO dental insurance costs the least.
With Indemnity plans you can go to any dentist you want! However, for major work there is a wait of a year and 1/2 from the original start of the policy, and the benefit is limited to $2000 yearly! Indemnity dental insurance costs the most. On Indemnity dental insurance you are covered for 100% on preventive work; 80% on basic work; and 50% on Major work
On the HMO plans we offer the very popular Delta Dental (The coverage is better too); and the more economical PacifiCare Dental.
