| |  | | | | | If you already have a dental plan, it is essential that you understand its features. Specifically, you should know if there are any exclusions, limitations, restrictions, patient copayments, annual or lifetime benefit maximums, and overall what dental services are covered. There are many types of plans available, including Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO), Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO), state-funded (Medicaid), and dental discount programs. Many companies in Hawaii provide these types of dental coverage.
Employers are not mandated by law to provide dental coverage for employees; therefore, if your employer does not provide a dental plan, here are a few sites you can visit to find more information about dental benefits and what they offer.
