Dental Insurance
Monday, January 20th, 2014We are in network with most dental insurances companies including all forms of Nevada Medicaid and are currently accepting new patients.
Deductibles & co-payments must be considered
Monday, January 20th, 2014When estimating the cost of dental treatment, all deductibles, co-payments and percentages of coverage must be taken into consideration. Typical insurance companies will require an annual deductible ranging from $25-$100 per patient as well as co-payments for certain procedures. These co-payments are based upon the percentage of coverage that is outlined in the policy holder’s specific plan. Insurance companies will not share this information with our office. It is up to the policy holder to understand the specific coverage of their dental insurance policy.
Benefits are not determined by our office
Monday, January 20th, 2014Insurance companies set their own fee schedule to determine their “allowable” fee. These allowable fees are significantly lower than our regular office fees. Each policy holder’s benefits can also change on an annual basis. Our office will ask at each appointment if there has been any change to the insurance policy. It is again imperative that each patient understands the benefits and coverage’s of their individual insurance policy.
No insurance pays 100% of all procedures
Monday, January 20th, 2014Dental insurance is meant to be an aid in receiving dental care. Many patients think that their insurance pays 100% of all dental fees. Unfortunately this is not true. The percentage paid by your insurance company varies from policy to policy. Our office stresses that it is the policy holder’s responsibility to understand the benefits and coverage of their individual policy.
