Everyone knows your name and makes you feel welcome. Very different atmosphere than many clinics. In other places I’ve felt like a number to be processed. – Charlene
Does your office accept my dental insurance? The answer is most of the time, yes!
We are an “in-network” provider with most insurance companies. However, we still accept and file claims to almost all the other insurance companies at the out-of-network level to provide you with the best possible coverage available.
We are considered In-Network Provider for the following insurance companies :
- Delta Dental PPO
- Delta Dental Advantage
- Delta Dental Premier
- Aetna PPO
- MetLife PPO
- Cigna PPO
- Guardian
- Benefit Source
- Principal
- United Concordia – Out of Network Providers
- United Healthcare PPO
- BCBS PPO
- Ameritas
- Medicaid Centennial Care
- All other PPO’s that allow patients to select their own dentist
- Indemnity plans that allow patient to select any dentist
In-Network Coverage VS. Out-of-Network Coverage:
We check on your insurance coverage and submit your benefits on your behalf as a courtesy. You are still responsible for understanding and knowing your benefits.
In-Network – A provider has signed a contract agreement with the insurance company to provide their insured patients a “discounted” rate. The primary advantage of using an “in-network” provider is that you receive this negotiated or discounted rate for their services, and your insurance generally picks up a larger portion of the bill than with an out-of-network provider.
Out-of-Network – A provider which has not contracted with your insurance company for reimbursement at a negotiated rate. Some plans, like HMO or DMO plans, do not reimburse out-of-network providers at all, which means that as the patient, you would be responsible for the full amount charged by your doctor. Other plans offer coverage for out-of-network providers, but your patient responsibility may be higher than it would be if you were seeing an in-network provider.
Please keep in mind that there are thousands of different insurance plans all with different stipulations for services.
