Why Dental Insurance Feels Like a Racket (and When It Actually Isn’t)
In this episode of Insurance Gone Wild, hosts Dennis and Stephanie break down some of the most misunderstood — and expensive — areas of health and dental insurance.
If you’ve ever been confused about HSA vs FSA rules, wondered why doctors push year-end spending, or been shocked by a dental insurance max benefit, this episode is for you.
Dennis and Stephanie explain:
Why FSAs are truly “use it or lose it” while HSAs work very differently
How deductibles and max out-of-pocket resets can impact major medical decisions
What global billing means for pregnancy and childbirth — and why it matters
Why dental insurance doesn’t work like medical insurance (and when it does make sense)
How in-network vs out-of-network dental providers can quietly slash your benefits
When dental discount programs may beat traditional insurance
They also share real-world stories, including surprise dental bills, employer plan pitfalls, and why your dentist might catch serious health issues long before anyone else.
Whether you’re planning a pregnancy, trying to maximize benefits before renewal, or questioning if dental insurance is even worth it, this episode helps you make smarter, more informed decisions — without the insurance jargon.
