Understanding Your Dental Insurance
Dental insurance can be tricky to understand, as most insurance policy documents are many pages long. Coverage for each dental treatment also depends on your individual policy and can vary greatly depending on whether you have a family plan or one provided by your employer.
It is helpful to know your insurance coverage information before coming in, as this can help avoid delays with your child’s treatment plan. Some of the questions we usually recommend asking your insurance provider include:
What treatments are covered, and how much is covered?
What is the maximum coverage limit?
Is there a deductible? If so, how much?
Are alternative procedures in the same treatment category covered?
Dental Insurance Coverage and Patient Responsibility
It is important to note that insurance carriers may not release certain information to third parties, including dental practices, even with informed and signed consent. We will do our best to help ensure you understand your coverage limits before any procedures or treatment plans are started.
Regardless of insurance coverage, the patient or responsible party is responsible for the cost of treatment. We may provide financing options depending on your individual situation. Families looking for assistance should speak with our practice when booking their child’s next appointment.
