Do you take my dental insurance?
We are in network with multiple dental benefit plans. As a courtesy to our patients, we electronically file claims same day to any insurance provider whether we are a contracted provider or not. If we are not in contract (aka “In Network”) with your insurance plan, we will still assist you in estimating your out-of-pocket expense and file the claim for you. Please note there are a few dental benefit plans which do not allow for an “Assignment of Benefits”, meaning they send payment for services directly to the patient only. In these cases, we will collect payment at the time of service and file your claim for you.
In order to assist you in understanding your benefits you must provide information regarding the specific Insurance Company. This includes the insurance name and policy type (ie PPO, HMO, DMO etc) as well as the Employer and main policy holders social security number and date of birth. There are hundreds of Insurance companies and even more plans within each company. We have no way of filing a claim without this information.
How do I know what my insurance plan covers?
Benefits are not determined by our office and insurance companies set their own fee schedules. Please remember that your dental plan is an agreement between you and the insurance company. It is important that you familiarize yourself with your own insurance benefits as we are estimating your cost based on the information provided to us. We are not responsible for how insurance companies process claims or what they do/do not cover. We are happy to assist you in finding this information and estimating your cost of treatment.
How much will I owe?
Dental benefit plans are meant to provide assistance for dental services and rarely cover 100% of the cost. This is why it is important that you understand your specific insurance policy. We will do our best in estimating your out-of-pocket costs, but are not responsible for what your insurance actually covers. We allow 60 days from the date of service for your insurance to process the claim. After the 60 days you are responsible for the balance on your account. Please keep our office updated in the case of any insurance changes so that we can file the claim in a timely manner. We are not responsible for claims filed to inactive policies.
What are Co-Payments and deductibles
Most dental benefit plans have a yearly deductible that must be met for certain services. These are usually for non-preventative services and can range from $50-200 per person. Co-Payments are a percentage of the cost of treatment that the patient is responsible for. This is determined by your specific benefit plan and varies from service to service. We do not always have access to this information and is another reason you should be familiar with your specific plan.
