Health insurance is a type of insurance coverage that helps pay for medical and dental expenses. It can be provided by an employer, purchased individually, or obtained through a government program such as Medicare or Medicaid. Dental insurance is a type of health insurance that specifically covers dental care, such as cleanings, fillings, and crowns.
In the United States, dentists are able to bill health insurance for covered dental services. This means that patients can use their health insurance to help pay for the cost of their dental care. The amount of coverage will vary depending on the patient's insurance plan. Some plans may cover 100% of the cost of covered services, while others may only cover a percentage. Patients should check with their insurance provider to find out what their plan covers.
