Understanding Dental Insurance Costs & Saving on Dental Care
We hope you enjoyed our article on Guardian Dental. While reading, you may have noticed that dental insurance has its own language for dental insurance costs. Some of the most important terms are financial: premium, deductible, copayment, and coinsurance. The better these terms are understood, the better you’ll be at shopping for bargains among dental insurance plans.
The monthly fee an enrollee pays for insurance coverage is known as a premium, and the amount you need to spend on your own before the insurance company begins to pay for care is known as a deductible. Fees for dental services paid for by the patient (called "out-of-pocket costs") typically come in the form of copayments or coinsurance fees. A copayment is a fixed dollar fee for a service. For example, if a dental plan requires you to contribute a flat fee of $50 for a filling, that amount is a copayment.
If a dental plan requires you to contribute a percentage of the overall cost, that percentage is a coinsurance fee. For example, a dental plan may state that the insurance company's coinsurance rate for a filling is 70 percent. This means the consumer's coinsurance fee for the filling equals 30 percent of the filling cost. For example, if a dentist charges $100 to perform a fill for the consumer then the consumer would pay the remaining $30 out-of-pocket under this dental plan scenario.
Never use the premium alone to decide what dental plan is right for you. In some cases, the combination of deductible, copayments, and coinsurance fees, and uncovered services can exceed what you pay annually in premiums, and a plan with a higher premium but lower-out-of-pocket costs may produce lower annual dental spending. For a more comprehensive discussion of the issues surrounding dental plan costs, see our article "Dental Insurance Cost."
