BlueCross BlueShield Coverage Availability & Fees
Many BCBS plans follow a similar 100-80-50 coverage breakdown that looks like the following:
- 100% Preventive Services (dental checkups, dental cleanings, X-rays)
- 80% Basic Restorative Services (dental fillings, simple tooth extractions)
- 50% Major Restorative Services (dental crowns, dentures)
Cosmetic treatment is unlikely to receive any coverage, and orthodontics may require that you purchase a supplemental plan if you or a loved one requires braces.
As long as you commit to paying your monthly premium, you can expect access to your benefits. Our team will ensure you maximize your available savings so that what you pay for preventive or restorative treatment is much less.
The Benefits of Seeing an In-Network Dentist
Seeing an in-network dentist has its benefits, although you have the right to choose a dentist who is out of network with your plan. If you decide you would rather see someone who works with your insurance plan, the following are some of the advantages you can expect:
- A dentist who will ensure greater savings because of their partnership and contract with BCBS. This pre-negotiation includes determining which services will be offered at a lower price, so the savings are passed directly to you.
- A streamlined billing process that takes the burden of filing claims off your shoulders. Our team is here to ensure everything is submitted correctly so you get the most out of your benefits.
- Our dental team will abide by high standards of care that the insurance company lays out.
- We will look for ways to help you save, even if you are about to exceed your annual maximum.
