Online Dental Insurance, ADA Codes on Individual Dental Plans.
Question: I am new to having to shop for dental insurance. I am 21 and never had good dental care when I was a child so now I am trying to get my teeth back into good shape. I called a few dental PPO plans I was told about but they could not confirm price for dental services until after I buy the plan. I was told that if I had ADA codes for the needed dental services I could get the true cost on individual dental plans. Where do I get this ADA Codes.
Reply: You would need to get the ADA codes (service codes for each individual dental service) from a dentist. If you already seen a dentist and was told what you needed to have done, the that office should be able to give you the ADA codes for the services they are advising you to have done.
If you have not seen the dentist but want to know this information prior to buying dental insurance then see if you can find a dentist that will provide you with a free to low cost consult if so you will then be able to get the ADA codes from the dental office at the time they do the exam
