Dental insurance for my father (aged 70) and mother (aged 64)

Hi, My parents will be visiting me in USA shortly for 5 months. I would like to take dental insurance. Can anyone suggest a good option?
Thanks

It gives some schedule cost. I believe that's the cost that I have to bear for the procedure and rest will be paid by Careington. Is my understanding correct?

What you see in the 'Schedule' is what you have to pay for those procedures.

As it is a discount plan and not the insurance, Careington does not pay anything. You just pay those discounted rates that they have listed.

Thanks for your replies.

Can I take the plan after my parents arrive in US?

Also, As mentioned by you, its not insurance but discount plan. Is there a dental insurance plan available for visitors to USA?

1. No dental insurance plan. Even if it was available, it would cover only 10% for first year, 20% for second year and something like that. Therefore, it would be pretty useless for visitors.

2. You can buy after they arrive as well. However, please note that it takes around 7 to 10 days before they can go to the dentist after purchasing it. Therefore, please don't wait until the person already has tooth pain.
