![]() ![]() ![]() The Salud Bucal Plan I am covered by is their Premium Plan With Salud Bucal you only pay the difference between the full cost less the insurance cover to them with no need to reclaim. ![]() Considering my last molar crown cost $700 here, and I had been quoted higher, the dental insurance cover provided appears well worth it. My treatment starts tomorrow and the cost of the process which includes root canal with insurance to me is going to be in the $150 range. So we looked up the available dentists in the grouping Salud Bucal which are included in the ARS Palic Prestige plan and found that there is a clinic with a dozen dentists in Bella Vista Mall which is nearby and booked an appointment and the need for a crown (corona) was confirmed after XRay (insurance cost for consultation and XRay RD100). I thought little of the dental cover when I took out the plan. It includes dental cover and other extras but my dentist was not on their list of providers. I have recently changed my medical insurance from Cigna Global at ever increasing premium where most things weren't covered and excesses and coshare of costs applied, to a Prestige local plan with my wife and a relative at lower plan to qualify due to my age. A check at my local dentist revealed through a scan that the affected molar was shearing in section. I thought a filling had fallen out in part. Last Saturday, I was crunching on some assorted nuts in the evening and felt a sensation. When you are older the likeyhood for crowns and implants increases and they don't come that cheap unless you have decent insurance. My experiences are positive with a few dental practices here including fillings, root canal work and a crown. The general consensus is that DR provides a good standard of detal treatment cover at significantly less cost than North America. I believe 'planners' medical insurance plans include dental insurance cover so do check that out (and maybe the same dental grouping I mention below too). Dental insurance should not be forgotten for expats here especially as you get older. ![]()
