Many policies limit the pay out to $2500/yr, and usually major things like crowns and implants are paid at 50%. I had a really good plan and it paid to $4000/70% of procedures. It also set the costs with preferred providers who agreed to the costs for certain things. I think the implants were about $4000 each with the preferred rate. It wasn’t all billed at once, but there was a cost of about $2500 for the bone graft, prep, the putting the screw in, then about three months later the crown. I know the crown was $1500 on the second one because I fought the insurance company over that for two years. So of that I paid 30% and insurance paid 70%, but my premiums were pretty high so I really paid a lot more.
