Our insurance coordinators deal with many different insurance companies and are eager to get the benefits entitled to you. Some companies offer many different dental and medical plans. These dental plans all have many limitations and arbitrary restrictions. They can change benefits, co-pays and deductibles many times throughout the year. We do our best to provide you with accurate coverage estimates based on information available to us. At times, it is almost impossible to accurately estimate our patients' insurance co-payment. Many insurance companies will not give out fees until after the treatment is completed. Dealing with these companies can be difficult and time consuming. As a courtesy, we ask that you keep us informed of any change to your insurance. It is important that all information about you and your insurance is current.
Although we will gladly file your claim on your behalf, you may wish to submit the claim yourself. In general, insurers process claims filed directly by patients faster than those filed by the service providers.
Furthermore, most dental insurance policies are limited in the annual amount of coverage they offer and often only pay for a portion of the procedure(s) that may need to be done. The majority of dental plans reimburse approximately 30%-80% of treatment costs. We are uncompromising in the quality of service we provide and therefore have chosen not to participate in any HMO and PPO plans.
