What exactly are direct reimbursement dental plans?
ANSWER:
Many consumers have come to appreciate direct reimbursement dental plans because they are flexible plans which cover a variety of dental work, at least in part. The true flexibility of such plans is identified in the fact that the individual can select his or her dental care provider and the work that is performed. The downside to direct reimbursement dental plans is identified in the fact that the consumer must pay for procedures up front and wait to be reimbursed by the plan provider as consumers are “directly reimbursed”.

Health Savings Accounts
You can use this account to pay for your qualified health expenses, including expenses that the plan ordinarily doesn’t cover, such as eyeglasses and hearing aids.
Expenses paid out of the HSA that are eligible expenses under your high-deductible health plan will count toward the plan’s deductible.
