Dental Discount: Moving with current dental braces on – Dental Insurance Plus
I currently have my son in braces. I have a dental discount plan that saves me 20%, which has worked well for me. However, now my husband’s job is making us move. It is good because it offers better pay and benefits.
My son still has his braces, and I worry that since we will be moving to a different state, his braces will not be done in time since he needs them for another year. Will I still get my 20% discount under the plan with another plan dentist?
Reply: It’s completely understandable that you want to ensure your son’s dental care remains consistent during the move. Regarding your question, it’s best to contact your dental discount plan provider to confirm whether your discount will still be applicable in the new state. Generally speaking, most dental discounts are still valid as long as they are available in the state you move to. But you have a few factors you will need to confirm.
1) Call your dental discount provider and ask if the discount plan is available in your moving state.
2) Ask if there are any plan orthodontic dentists in the area you are moving to. If so, get a list and the provider’s phone numbers
3) Confirm if the plan provides discounts for work in progress with a new plan distist.
If you can answer yes to all the above questions, the next step would be to call the plan dentist.
1) Ask if they are still accepting the plan and new members
2) Call the dentist in the plan and confirm that they can continue with your son’s orthodontic care.
3) Ensure the dental office will still provide the 20% discount.
It will take some phone call to the plan and their plan providers to confirm if your current dental discount will still work for you. You can also ask your current dentist for recommendations on trusted dental professionals in the new area, as they may have connections or be able to provide referrals. I hope this helps, and please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.
