How Does ND Dental Insurance Work?

North Dakota dental insurance works in much the same way that medical insurance works. For a specific monthly rate(or "premium"), you are entitled to certain dental benefits, usually including regular checkups, cleanings, x-rays, and certain services required to promote general dental health. Some plans will provide broader coverage than others and some will require a greater financial contribution on your part when services are rendered. Some plans may also provide coverage for certain types of oral surgery, dental implants, or orthodontia.

ND Dental Plans

Similar to medical insurance plans, North Dakota dental insurance plans are often categorized as either Indemnity or managed-care plans.

Typically, North Dakota Indemnity plans offer a broader selection of dental care providers than managed-care plans. With an indemnity plan, the carrier pays for covered services only after it receives a bill, which means that you may have to pay up front and then obtain reimbursement from your insurance carrier later.

Managed-care plans typically maintain dental provider networks. North Dakota dentists participating in a network agree to perform services for patients at pre-negotiated rates and usually will submit the claim to the dental insurance company for you. In general, you'll have less paperwork and lower out-of-pocket costs with a managed-care dental plan and a broader choice of dentists with an Indemnity plan.
