Helping You Save & Keeping Your Smile Healthy
Our dentists and staff at DuPont Family Dentistry always work hard to provide the best customer service and outstanding dental care. With this in mind, we are an in-network provider with several dental insurance carriers, including BlueCross BlueShield.
BlueCross BlueShield offers coverage for most preventive services, including dental checkups and cleanings twice each year. Coverage for more complex services, such as tooth-colored fillings, extractions, root canals and dental crowns, may also be available. If you have purchased dental insurance through your employer, then additional dental coverage options may be available to you through your group plan. In any case, our team is always happy to help maximize your benefits to the fullest extent at every one of your visits!
What Does Being In-Network Mean?
What does it mean to be an in-network BlueCross BlueShield dentist in DuPont? The term simply refers to a dentist that has a contract with BlueCross BlueShield to accept a predetermined fee for covered services. Once you have met your annual insurance deductible, all you have to pay is the coinsurance fee for your particular service, also known as a “copay.” You will not be charged anything more.
BlueCross BlueShield Coverage Availability & Fees
Every dental insurance plan can vary, even those through the same insurance companies. However, our team strives to make your benefits as clear and concise as possible for you, ensuring you know how much you’ll be expected to pay out-of-pocket before you agree to move forward with a procedure.
While your benefits can vary, most insurance plans’ coverage can be broken down into a 100-80-50 structure:
- 100 percent of preventive treatments are typically covered, like your routine checkups and cleanings.
- 80 percent of minor dental treatments are covered, like tooth-colored fillings.
- 50 percent of more extensive restorative and surgical procedures are covered, like tooth extractions.
