 We
know how important dental insurance benefits are to our clients,
and we also know how complicated it can be to sort out benefits
and coverage. We take great pride in the knowledge and efficiency
of our office staff in working with insurance providers.
|
 |
Your insurance company may cover
from 70-100% of routine preventative care and from 40-70% of major
services based on the plan's pre-established maximum fee allowance.
This allowance varies from carrier to carrier. |
|
It is important that you familiarize
yourself with your specific plan in order to determine what portion
the insurance company will pay and what portion you are responsible
for. |
|
We ask that the estimated
patient portion be paid at the time of service. Our receptionist
can help you estimate your insurance coverage for your specific
treatment. |
|
When your policy says it covers
100% of "usual and customary," it means it pays the amount
the insurance company has calculated that a procedure or service
costs based on market surveys. It doesn't mean that it covers 100%
of what a dental provider actually charges. |
|
We have consciously chosen to
provide high-quality dental care to our patients and have carefully
calculated what costs to offer at that level of care. To lower our
fees would require us to lower the quality of care we provide. We
do not see that as an option. |
