Princess Lindsayy asked:


I’m still under my mom’s health insurance but she doesn’t have dental so is there a way to still get her health insurance but get my own dental insurance on the side? I need to get invisalign and I’m going to pay for it on my own but insurance would definitely help that. Also how do I pay for it? Is there like a monthly fee? I’m really stupid when it comes to this stuff so any help would be nice.

horse lover asked:


I need an implant since I’m missing a tooth, and my dental insurance doesn’t cover implants. I’ve heard that occasionally people have gotten their medical insurance to pay for implants. Has anyone tried this? If so, who is your insurance company? Any tips? Thanks!

Rino M asked:


I am an international student and I just found out my international student insurance does not cover dental expenditures. Can you suggest some good dental insurance companies that I can check on-line and see what they offer? I need a good insurance for cavities and cleaning treatments, and I am 27.

I have dental insurance through WellPoint Dental Services. I needed a dental procedure and my dentist filed it and I received an approval/precertification from WellPoint in the mail. It said the insurance would pay $204 of the procedure. I had the procedure 4/25/2007. I paid my dentist in full (that’s how he does it) and have been trying to collect the $204 ever since. I have called the insurance co and am always told it is in process. I have written 2 letters with a copy of the precertification to the address on my card and have had no response. On 7/18/2997, a rep said that it had been misfiled, but it would be sent to claims immediately and that all the necessary info was there. I have received no response to my letters, no check. What should I do now?? That procedure was $1000 and I could really use the $204. Thanks for any help!

Megan asked:


My mom is out of work and needs to have some dental work done. I was thinking to get her a Delta Dental Insurance in the hopes that it will help her. If you currently have this insurance or had it in the past, could you please tell me if it’s worth it. Thanks.

Teresa L asked:


I’m shopping around for dental insurance and most plans I see have a 12 month waiting period for major procedures – and I’m going to need to get my wisdom teeth out soon. Can anybody recommend me a plan?

Thanks!

Dustin asked:


I need to get my wisdom teeth taken out, but don’t have any dental insurance at the moment.

I’m unable to get it through my employer, so I need to find a cheap plan that would allow me to choose my own dentist.

Would I be able to cancel the plan after I received the treatment?

Any recommendations and specific cost amounts would be great!

In case it matters, I’m 22 and live in Southern California.
