Questions You Should Ask Your Dental Plan Administrator

Your dental insurance plan provider is a great source of information about your plan benefits and any restrictions that may apply to your coverage. Here are some questions to ask when deciding on a plan or getting ready to use it to cover your dental care costs:

• Is there a deductible? How much is it?
• Is there an annual maximum for how much the plan will pay for dental care?
• Will I be subject to a waiting period before I can receive treatment for dental issues? Are preexisting conditions excluded from coverage?
• What is covered under the plan? Are orthodontic treatments, including Invisalign®, covered wholly or in part? Are high-quality materials covered? Does the plan cover dental implants or cosmetic procedures?
• Will I pay copayments or visit charges? If so, how much will those fees be?
• Will I need preauthorization for some procedures?
• How much will I pay in premiums for dental coverage?

Your dental insurance company is the single best source of accurate answers to these common questions. By working with your dental plan and our office, you can ensure that you get the most from your dental plan in East Lansing.

What Are the Two Basic Types of Dental Insurance?

Preferred provider organization (PPO) and health maintenance organization (HMO) plans are the most common categories of dental insurance. At Contemporary Dentistry East Lansing, we accept most dental plans to include HMO and PPO options. Here are some of the basics of each of these types of dental plans:

• PPO dental plans offer you the luxury of choice in deciding which dentists you want to see. Unlike HMO plans, the number of dentists who participate in PPO plans is significantly larger and may include your current dentist. As a result, finding a dentist that accepts PPO insurance is a relatively easy task. At Contemporary Dentistry East Lansing, we can provide accurate information to help you find a dentist on our team who is part of your PPO network.
• Finding a dentist that accepts HMO insurance can sometimes be challenging. HMO plans usually cost less in premiums and focus on preventive care and routine procedures, which can make them a cost-effective choice for you and your family. Our team can let you know if we participate in your HMO dental plan and can provide you with an accurate estimate of your costs for a variety of treatments in our office.

Because we accept most major dental insurance plans, Contemporary Dentistry East Lansing can help you determine which type of plan will likely suit your needs best. We work with our patients to deliver outstanding options that work for you and your family.
