Dental insurance can be confusing, and it's common for patients to be unsure about their coverage. However, because so many insurance options are available and a wide variety of factors can affect your coverage, we strongly recommend contacting your insurance carrier before your visit. A consultation with your carrier about the amount and extent of your coverage will help prevent any confusion, misunderstandings, or frustration about your financial responsibility for certain services.
Our practice is here to help you! Please bring a copy of your insurance card to your appointment or give us the details beforehand. We will verify your insurance coverage before your visit and file your claim!
In-Network
We are in-network with several dental insurance companies. Please note that we are only in-network with PPO and Premier plans, and we are not in-network with DHMO plans. Below are the insurance providers we accept; however, individual plans may vary. If you have any questions or need confirmation about your specific insurance plan, please do not hesitate to contact us.
- Delta Dental
- Cigna
- United Healthcare
- Blue Cross Blue Shield
Out-In-Network
We gladly welcome patients with out-of-network insurance plans. Most plans still offer benefits for out-of-network providers. This means that you can continue to receive care from us, and your insurance may cover a portion of the costs, depending on your specific plan. And even if you have an out-of-network plan, we will still file a claim on your behalf.
Medicaid
We currently do not provide dental services to patients with Medicaid because we are not enrolled in the program. Accepting cash payments in lieu of Medicaid benefits is strictly prohibited in our office. You must use a Medicaid provider of your choice. Please let us know at check-in if your insurance has changed to include Medicaid coverage. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Claims and Billing
For our patients with dental insurance, our professional services are tailored to you — not to your insurance company. You are responsible for your account despite insurance coverage. A written estimate will be provided for all treatment plans. But please note, once insurance has paid their determined amount, you are responsible for the balance.
If you have insurance, a pre-determination can be requested to give detailed coverage on major procedures and treatment plans.
How It Works:
- You pay the estimated patient portion at the time of your appointment.
- We will file a claim on your behalf, and the insurance company will pay us directly.
- If the insurance payment differs from the initial estimate and a balance remains, you will cover any remaining balance.
