Dental Insurance for Veterans
Because dental care is so expensive, I wanted to share that great dental insurance is available to veterans and their spouses and dependent children. They offer standard and high option. So many folks, especially seniors are without dental insurance. While the VA provides total coverage to 100% disabled vets, this insurance helps all other vets, whether disabled or not. You need to be enrolled in the VA health care system, but do not need to get all of your health care needs there. The choice is between Delta and Metlife. One of the biggest differences between the two that I can tell is that Delta requires a 9 month waiting period for major work and Metlife has no waiting period.

There is no deductible if you use in network dentists.
There is no waiting period for major work except orthodontia.
Standard plan has $1300 which increases to $1500 maximum
High option is $3000 which increases t $3500 maximum.

I hope this is helpful. This is one of the dental insurance plans that we have, and they have been great! We are very satisfied. For more info see www.metlife.com/vadip

Kudos for Desert grandma for getting this vital info out to our veteran members, spouses and dependants
