Dental Coverage
We don't put a lot of effort into selling dental coverage. Generally it's a wash on paying premiums vs getting back claims payments. Unless it's employer group. Then the premiums are tax deductible under IRS Section 106.
Here's more information on how we feel about dental. Here's our page on implants, where we get lots of inquires, but few sales. Most people only seem to want dental coverage, after they've been told they need a lot of dental work. Not profitable for Insurance Companies. See our other pages for details & explanations. See our page on Medical Loss Ratio. Insurance Companies need to take in $1 to pay 80c in claims.

FAQ’s
In California Blue Cross and Blue Shield are two totally different and separate companies. See our webpages…
What is a (Blue Cross or Shield) #Multi State Plan under the Affordable Care Act?
The Multi-State Plan (MSP) Program, established under the Affordable Care Act, directs OPM [Federal Office of Personnel Management*] to contract with private health insurers in each State to offer high-quality, affordable health insurance options called Multi-State Plans OPM.Gov FAQ’s
Multi-State Plans are overseen by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and are similar to the other Qualified Health Plan products offered on the exchanges. Generally, all of the same requirements that apply to other products also apply to these Multi-State Plan products. The name “Multi-State Plan” does NOT mean that consumers have health plan coverage for non-urgent care in multiple states. Excerpt from Agent Guide
OPM’s claim to fame appears to be that they have 50 years of experience running the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program. I do not see that the Multi State Programs have anything extra than the others. See also Minimum Essential Benefits and Medical Mandatory Loss Ratio’s
