Health insurance without dental coverage

Health insurance without dental coverage

More and more people are choosing to take out health insurance without additional dental insurance.

Inexpensive?
In recent months a lot has been written and said about supplementary insurance, especially dental insurance. If you calculate what you pay and what you get in return, it often turns out that the additional dental insurance does not offer you much benefit.

Control
Most people go for checkups twice a year. If you assume that this costs 30 euros per time, that means a cost item of 60 euros per year. Many additional dental insurance policies already cost you 180 euros per year. In addition, often only part of the treatment is reimbursed.

Trend
Of the people who take out a new insurance policy, only 38 percent have taken out a dental insurance policy, according to 2013zorgverzekering.nl. Of those who take out dental insurance, 11 percent choose to have 75 percent of dental care reimbursed up to a maximum of 250 euros. This makes it the most popular supplementary dental insurance.
