Question?
I have insurance, so why is there an expected out-of-pocket expense for my recommended treatment?
Dental insurance is meant to help offset the cost of treatment, not pay for it entirely. Coverage’s vary depending on the employer choice of plan, some are better; some are worse. Most dental insurance companies cover 80% to 100% of preventative visits, up to 80% of restorative, and up to 50% of major work.
When treatment is recommended by your dentist, we make every effort to anticipate your out-of-pocket costs as closely as possible. With hundreds of different insurance companies and thousands of individual plans, it is impossible for us to know every patient’s coverage. The final decision on coverage always comes from your insurance provider. If you have questions or concerns, contact your dental insurance carrier or human resources with your employer.
