Enrolled in 2105 at age 73 and been paying since. Used for preventative as I had major work done prior to enrolling. Now for the first time my dentist sends in claim for crown replacement and its denied. What's concerning is the "reason - " poor prognosis" Seems like PM has a death panel that denies claims once you reach a certain age.

HORRIBLE customer service. Only available midweek, on hold forever, only to learn I have to submit cancel request in writing (or fax... stone age?). Oh, by the way, "we're already processing your next month's pymt... too late." Plenty of apologies, but no action.

Your website gives no pricing or examples of pricing for Out of Network dental work. I'm not changing dentist! So what is your Basic, Preventive and Major coverage for out of network?

I'm glad I did research before I sent in my application. This "insurance" and company, look to be a nightmare waiting to happen! Thank you everyone for posting your reviews for others to see.

I don't know what plan you had at Physicians mutual but i pay $48 a month and get great coverage, the dental school i go to bills them for me. I have no regrets from them as they have paid for many crowns i have had done, and i have to pay zero now as i have added a couple of ryders to my policy. I go to a dental school as my dental dollars go much further, and i get great care. So thank you Physicians Mutual. Yes they can be slow sometimes in paying for my dental work, but they have always paid my bills.

Recently stopped using Physicians Mutual. Not sure why I stayed with them several years. Poorly run company. They'll initially deny almost every claim you make while offering very little in dental coverage. My dentist office told me they are the worst in payments and communication. You're better off paying your dentist in cash, and dropping your premium payments and the hassle of working with this company. It will save you a lot of time and probably some money too.
