At Skyline Dental of Wayne, our team can review your PPO plan and recommend how to use your benefits to your advantage. After reading through the following page of information, do not hesitate to call our office if you have any questions.
How to Use Your Dental Insurance at Skyline Dental
When preparing to use your dental insurance at our dental office in Wayne, make sure that you do one of the following:
- Have your dental insurance information on hand when calling our office. This allows us to immediately begin checking your available benefits and explain what you can expect before you arrive for your first appointment.
- Bring your insurance card with you to your appointment so that we can confirm your benefits.
If you want to avoid surprises, it’s best to let us know in advance which insurance plan you are enrolled in. We can tell you whether you will need to pay the full amount before your dental insurance company reimburses you.
How to Get the Most Out of Your Insurance
If you want to make sure you are reaping the benefits of your dental insurance, keep these tips in mind:
- Seek Preventive Dentistry: Most dental insurance companies will pay 100% for these six-month dental checkups and cleanings. Your proactive approach will reduce the potential need for future restorative treatment, services that your insurance company will help cover, but not in full.
- Visit an In-Network Dentist: You can expect to save significantly more when you choose an in-network dentist because of their pre-negotiated fees on various preventive and restorative services.
- Know Your Annual Maximum: Your dental insurance company will only pay up to the total amount allotted in your annual maximum. Knowing how much you have will ensure you don’t lose out on valuable dollars at the end of each year; otherwise, those dollars are returned to the insurance company.
We Offer In-Network Savings & Welcome Out-of-Network Plans
Dr. Henkin is pleased to welcome most in-network and out-of-network PPO plans, all while providing the same high-quality care. While you can expect to save more if we are in-network with your dental insurance plan, you do not need to assume your financial responsibilities will be significantly higher if we are not. When you call our office, our team will evaluate your coverage, look for ways to help you save, and provide a cost estimate for treatment, so you don’t have to worry about surprises.
