Understanding CHP Dental Insurance Costs and Coverage

CHP dental insurance costs can be broken down into several categories, including monthly premium payments, annual maximums, and out-of-pocket expenses.

On average, the monthly premium for CHP dental insurance is around $30-$50 per person.

The annual maximum for CHP dental insurance varies depending on the plan, but it's typically around $1,000-$2,000.

With CHP dental insurance, you can expect to pay around 20-30% of the total dental bill out-of-pocket.

One of the benefits of CHP dental insurance is that it often covers routine cleanings and exams at no additional cost.

As a CHP dental insurance member, you're entitled to a range of services to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

Diagnostic services are available, including annual exams and x-rays, which are essential for detecting any potential issues early on.

Preventive services like annual cleaning, fluoride, and sealants can help prevent problems from arising in the first place.

Basic restorative services such as fillings and stainless steel crowns are also covered, which can help repair any damage that's already been done.

Oral surgery services, including some extractions, are also available, although some may require prior approval.

Some dental care requires prior approval before getting treatment, so it's essential to check with your insurance provider first.
