How Does Dental Insurance Work?

The world of dental insurance can be complex and confusing. Since your benefits are negotiated on your behalf by your employer, what you end of paying depends on how much of the cost your employer has agreed to accept. This means that the cost for the same procedure can vary significantly even among people covered by the same insurance carrier. Regardless of the type of insurance, the patient is ultimately responsible for the total cost of any services.

What Do I Do Once I Find a Dentist in Westminster by Insurance?

In addition to finding a dentist that takes insurance, you also need to familiarize yourself with the specifics of your plan benefits. The best source for this information is your insurance provider. When researching your benefits, be sure to ask the following questions:

• Which dentist takes my insurance?
• What options do I have if there is not a dentist near me who accepts my insurance?
• What is my annual deductible?
• What is my maximum annual benefit amount?
• Do I have a co-pay?
• Do you cover endodontics and other specialized services?
• Do I need a referral from my primary dentist to see a specialist?
• Are braces covered?
• Are dentures, dental implants, and other tooth replacement options covered?
• Do services have to be pre-authorized?
• Who do I contact if I have a question about a claim?
• How can I track how much I have earned toward my deductible?

Co-pays, premiums, and provider choices can also vary by whether you have an HMO or PPO plan. HMO plans tend to be the most economical, but you must choose your provider from a pre-approved list. PPO plans offer more flexibility when choosing a dentist, but your premiums, co-pays, and other fees will likely be higher.
