Can I Have A PPO Dental Insurance And Buy An HMO Dental Insurance To Cover Remaining Expenses?

Question by M | Posted in Dental

My job offers a PPO dental insurance plan through Blue Cross / Blue Shield (Not sure which).

Anyhow, I was told by a dentist once that if I have PPO dental through my employer I could purchase an HMO plan separate from my employer and as long as the dentist takes both it should pretty much cover any expenses over which the PPO itself wouldn't cover.

Does anyone know if this is true and could anyone recommend insurance plans that this is compatible with? Thanks.

Answer: This is possible, though both are still limited in their yearly coverage (total $ pay-out), and you
will still pay deductibles on both policies.
A possibly better (and definitely less expensive) route would be a dental plan.
Advantages? No pre-existing condition exclusions, no yearly limits.
A great trick I learned from my research reference, is to find out what plans your dentist takes first
and then check those out.
You can also research dental insurance companies there.
Wish you the best...

How Can I Tell If My Insurance Is A PPO Or HMO?

Question by Wonderment | Posted in Insurance

The insurance coverage is under my step-dad who is out of the country and I don't speak to much, we are still waiting for the insurance to kick it at his new job...
It is Blue Cross Blue Sheild, is there an easy way to tell if it's an HMO or PPO based on his employment?

Answer: It is based upon the contract.

One contract can allow for a choice between the two. You are going to have to contact the company that offers the coverage. Baring that, contact one of the providers, offering the insurance number. The number can be checked, and the provider will be able to inform you of HMO or PPO protection.

What Do HMO, POS, PPO, & HDHP Insurance Types Stand For? Which Do I Choose?

Question by limeallure | Posted in Insurance

I need health insurance but I don't know the terms or which one to choose. I am married but my husband said it would cost so much to add me to his work's insurance. My boss may set up some insurance for me from my work, I have no idea what to pick. Help?

Answer: HMO = Health Maintenance Organization
POS = Point of Service
PPO = Preferred Provider Organization
HDHP = High Deductible Health Plan

The best choice depends on how much you want to spend and the type of health care you anticipate using. The HDHP would likely have the lowest premium (the amount you and your employer pay each month); however, you'd pay a large deductible (perhaps $4000) before your benefits kicked in.

[The deductible is the amount you pay before the insurance begins to cover your expenses. For example, in a plan with a $200 deductible, you would be responsible for the first $200 of eligible expenses each year. Once you had

You pay a monthly premium, then you pay a deductible (usually $500 to $2,000) before your insurer will pay a percentage of your medical bills (usually 80%). These plans are slightly more expensive than HMOs because you are not restricted to network hospitals and doctors. Unlike an HMO, you pay for medical services as they are rendered, and you may see non-network doctors for an additional fee. These plans pay for your doctor visits, hospital fees, and prescription drugs. These plans pay for your doctor visits, hospital fees, and prescription drugs.
