Insurance and
Billing
Our office will be diligent in assisting you in preparing and
submitting the necessary forms in order for you to receive the
maximum benefit available. In most cases our office may accept
payment directly from your carrier. Please be aware that dental
insurance is not really insurance. It is actually a yearly money
benefit, provided by your employer, based on the premium cost per
employee.

Ever feel like you
funnel money into a dental insurance plan that you'll never see
again? Don't let your dental benefit plan become a black hole! Take
advantage of all the benefits it offers - benefits for which you are
already paying. Need a little motivation? Here are 5 very good
reasons to use your benefits to the fullest!
- Yearly
Maximums. Dental insurance plans put a maximum on the
amount of money they're willing to pay for your dental care.
Maximums vary from one company or policy to the next, but
typically fall around $1000. Sounds like a lot of money, doesn't
it? Your employer has given you this benefit instead of a salary
increase. It is your money! Why not do yourself a favor and use
it, before you loose it. Let's ensure your mouth is in tip-top
shape when next year rolls around!
-
Premiums. You're paying a significant monthly premium
to keep your insurance. Even if you don't need extensive
treatment, you should use that money for regular check ups and
cleanings to prevent costly procedures in the future. Use the
benefits for which you are paying. Don't throw your premium
money away!
-
Deductibles. Insurance companies typically expect you
to pay a certain amount of money for your dental care each year,
$50 - $100. Deductibles begin anew each year, so spreading out
this care over more than one year will mean you have to pay
multiple deductible amounts. If your smile isn't in good shape,
our office can create a treatment plan to put you back on track
this year.
-
Inflation. It seems everything becomes more expensive
from one year to the next, and dental materials and equipment
are no exception. Putting off necessary dental care could mean
that you'll have to pay more down the road.
- Dental
Problems Escalate. If your pearly whites are anything
but, they're only going to get worse. That is, of course, unless
you take advantage of your insurance benefits and tend to your
teeth and gums on a regular basis. A little cavity or infected
gums that isn't bothering you one year may become a major
headache (or toothache!) the next.
If you haven't yet
taken advantage of your dental insurance benefits this year and
would like to, please call us at (877) 505-5186. We'll help you find
which treatments are and are not covered by your policy!
