Are dental hygienists offered group health insurance or do they always have to get their own?

Are dental hygienists responsible for their own health insurance or is it common place to have the employer (aka dentist) offer group plans? With some past medical history I am finding it hard to find individual plans without denial or outrageous premiums (planning to go through DH school and need insurance for that) Anyone?

Depends on whether you are an employee or an independent contractor. Most dentists hire hygienists as independent contractors which mean they have to get their own health insurance. The ADA might have some group health plans - check them out. HTH
