What's the difference between dental insurance and dental plans?!
Question:
What's the difference between dental insurance and dental plans?
I need to see a dentist and don't get coverage through work. I've googled dental insurance, but dental plans keep coming up. What's the difference? and can you recommend any specific insurance or plan? I live in the SF Bay Area.
Answers:
They are actually the same. Plan sounds better than insurance in a sales pitch. Most businesses offer employees health insurance plans.
Either one can have restrictions, such as requiring you to go to a specific group of dentists.
