ValuePenguin.com is offering examples of pediatric and adult dental benefits that can be purchased on the U.S. government's HealthCare.gov insurance website.
ValuePenguin.com advised that consumers shopping for dental insurance on HealthCare.gov should carefully investigate the cost-sharing aspect of the plans, according to a post by Marty Jablow, DMD, on dentechblog.blogspot.com.
With the Affordable Care Act (ACA), pediatric dental is considered an essential health benefit and must be included by insurers in their offerings, Dr. Jablow wrote. This includes out-of-pocket maximums for those younger than 18 years of age.
