The health of our eyes and mouths is no less important than that of the rest of our bodies. But vision and dental insurance are often excluded from traditional health insurance. While a health insurance plan can aid in the cost of a broken arm or a skin infection, a chipped tooth or fading eyesight is left up to dental and vision insurance.
No matter how it's acquired, vision and dental insurance can be instrumental in helping to keep your health up and your medical costs down. But before you go shopping for plans, there's plenty you should know about them. AHIA Insurance Agency can help you learn what you need to know.
Dental insurance often comes in the form of (100-80-50). This means that the insurance provider pays for 100 percent of the cost of preventive care (such as cleanings and routine checkups), 80 percent of the cost of basic procedures (such as fillings or root canals), and 50 percent of the cost of more advanced procedures (such as bridges or crowns).
Like health insurance, vision insurance can aid with the cost of examinations, treatments, prescriptions, surgical procedures, and equipment. Some of the things most commonly covered by vision insurance plans include: eye exams, eyewear, lens coatings and enhancements, and surgery.
