An insurance policy is an agreement between you and your insurance company, agreed upon by your employer. Questions or concerns regarding your dental insurance must be addressed by the policy holder or patient.

No, dental insurance is meant to offset the costs of dental treatment. The majority of dental plans pay a percentage of the total treatment costs.

The amount a plan covers is determined by how much the employer paid for the plan. This varies from plan to plan. Your policy booklet or employer can provide you with this information.

You are responsible for your account with us and any charges your insurance does not cover. If for some reason your insurance is late in payment to our office, you will be required to pay the outstanding balance and collect any amount owing to you from your insurance. We can assist you in completing any additional forms if necessary.

Become familiar with your insurance policy as insurance plans differ. Many plans do not specify fee schedule allowances, annual maximums or limitations. We strongly encourage you to know your plan in order to eliminate disappointments with payment or reimbursement. For extensive dental work, a pre-determination form can be submitted to your insurance company. You will receive an estimate of how much coverage you have – this will allow you to know approximately the amount over your insurance you will have to pay.
