CONSULATE
California Consulate Dental Plans
Question: I moved to California and I am 27 and do to poor dental care when I was a child, I have some very bad teeth and would like some dental health care help. I went to a dentist that gave me a free consult. However with the amount of dental work I need, I can not afford to have started.
The dental office advised me to looke for dental PPO plan that will let me stay with them. They said to try and find a dental PPO plan that offer short waiting periods or no waiting periods. I do not fully understand what they mean.
Reply: Many PPO plans have a limitation called a waiting period. Waiting period is the time frame you need to be on the plan before benefits of certin services are covered under the plan. Such as if you need a crown which is a major dental care service many PPO plans have a year or more waiting period before they offer benefits for major dental care services.
