Insurance & More
Insurance information, payment options, and financing.
Insurance
As a service to our patients, our practice accepts most dental insurance programs, including non-managed care, indemnity (traditional) and selected PPO plans. We are not part of any managed care network. Our accounting staff will prepare all the necessary forms for your dental benefits. We currently accept the following providers: Delta Dental, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Cigna, Guardian, MetLife. This list is subject to change and our staff will verify that we accept your insurance provider.
However, we remind you that your specific policy is an agreement between you and your insurance company. Please keep in mind that you are responsible for your total obligation should your insurance benefits result in less coverage than anticipated. Our staff will gladly submit a pre-treatment estimate to your insurance company so that you will know what your benefits will be.
Unfortunately, Dental Insurance has not kept up with the times. The annual limit for coverage has not changed since the 1970’s while inflation has increased over 500% during this time! This is why your insurance coverage is less than it really should be.
The fees charged for services rendered to those who are insured are the usual and customary fees charged to all our patients for similar services. Your policy may base its allowances on a fixed fee schedule, which may or may not coincide with our usual fees. You should be aware that different insurance companies vary greatly in the types of coverage available. Also, some companies take care of claims promptly while others delay payment for several months.
