In necessitate of individual dental/eye insurance plan?

I can't seem to be able to find a provider of individual dental and fantasy insurance.
My employer recently dropped these benefits.
Answers:
You have five option with dental.

1. Go without insurance. If you own good teeth and just want the requisites you probably don't need any plan. A yearly cleaning and exam and even an occasional padding will cost you less without insurance.

2. Visit a local dental institution. You can get many procedures done for a reduced price if you're likely to let them practice on you.

3. Insurance - Depending upon the policy: cost $30-$60 per month. You pay a $50 deductible first, they enjoy an annual maximum that they'll pay per year of $750 - $1500, they have a waiting term up to 18 months for major work and then you're paying 50% of the charges. Example - average cost for a root waterway in my area is $829. With insurance you reimburse $414 after paying 18 months of premium (around $800 or $900). Advantage - you can use any dentist with most plans.

4. Discount plans - Cost - $5-$12 per month. No deductible, no annual maximum and no waiting periods. Also, scarcely any dentists will accept the plan and when they do you MIGHT get a 10% discount, which is almost the same discount you can get by paying brass. Example - average cost for a root canal in my nouns is $829. With discount plans you pay around $746. Be very shy of of these plans because most are scams. The people that flog these plans have little or no knowledge in the region of health & dental insurance and do not need a license to flog them. The plans are not regulated by the state so you have no recourse when you have problems. Some states are starting to ruling these plans from being sold. Here is an informative link http://www.insurancejournal.com/news/wes… concerning these plans.

5. Fee for Service discount plans - Cost $7-$15 per month. No deductible, no annual maximum and no waiting period. Many dentist will accept the plan (check providers first before signing up beside any plan). When you use the plan there is a set fee that the dentist will charge you. Example - average cost for a root strait in my area is $829. With tax for service plans you pay as little as $404. Some of these plans will cover vision as ably.

I'm an insurance agent and my personal plan is the fee for service plan. I got mine here http://www.dpbrokers.com/default.aspx?lo… specifically the Aetna Dental Access plan but which one you carry depends upon your area and comparing the fee diary to find the best for what you need covered.
