How Dose Dental Discount Plans Work
Question: I do not really understand how dental discount plans work. Why would a dentist give you dental discounts off their work? Are they raising their prices then just saying they are giving you a discount when they are not really? How do you make sure you are getting discounts that the plan says you should get.
Answer: General/Family dentist have agree to the fee schedule that is listed under the plan. So it not like on those services they are raising their rate since it is a set cost for the services listed.   for the services not listed they are to give you a 20 percent discount off their own cost so I guess they could raise their cost. However you can also ask for a price list for the cash services so that you know what their charges are ahead of time.
