Our office accepts both Dental and Medical Insurance. Insurance plans can be wordy and confusing! Allow our team to make the experience easy and seamless. Our team of insurance billing experts have years of experience in maximizing your dental and medical insurance. Some frequently asked questions can be answered below.
What type of dental insurance do you accept?
- Our office accepts all PPO dental insurance carriers. We will perform all the necessary billing claims for you. Understand that we will do our very best to maximize your insurance benefits but not all PPO insurances are alike. Our office is a member of most major PPO dental insurance carriers, but some smaller PPO insurance companies do not inform us of the exact amount that they will cover for certain dental procedures. If this is you...don't fret! When your insurance company doesn't reimburse what was expected, we courtesy the difference!
- Our office does not accept HMO insurances. This is a hot topic so we encourage you to google search "dental HMO scam" and research what dental HMO insurances are all about. You will find out for yourself why this type of coverage does not fit our belief system.
What type of medical insurance do you accept?
- Our office accepts most major PPO medical insurance as well as select Medicaid and Medicare. Medical insurance is completely different from dental insurance and is treated as such. Note that the same procedure cannot be billed under BOTH dental and medical insurances. Our team will research which insurance reimburses you the most so we know which to maximize.
What is typically covered under medical insurance?
- Medical insurances vary greatly and many procedures must be pre-authorized before treatment is rendered. Cleanings, dentures, fillings and crowns are not covered by medical insurance. Typically, bone grafting, sleep apnea devices and full mouth diagnostic imaging is covered but rarely at 100%. Depending on your insurance, dental implants may be covered as well.
