Do you take my dental insurance?
If you have a PPO insurance plan than yes, we take your insurance! If you have a DMO/DHMO plan or Medicaid than we don’t take your plan (with exception of United Healthcare Medicare Advantage & some AARP Plans).
We accept all dental PPO plans including Aetna, Ameritas, Principal, Anthem BCBS, BCBS of MA, BCBS of TX, Cigna, Delta Dental, Federal Member Program (FEP), GEHA, Guardian, Princial, Dental Select, Best Life, MetLife, United Concordia, United Healthcare, and many more!
Our dental practice is not in network with all dental plans. What does that mean for you? Very little. It does mean that your insurance provider may pay us a bit more than if you saw an in-network dental practice, which is why they want you to see an in-network dentist! If we allow an insurance company to underpay us for for the remarkable treatment we offer, we can’t give the highest level of treatment that you deserve. Insurance companies are in the business of making money and so they desire patients to see a dentist in-network since it saves THEM money, that’s why they encourage you that in-network is better!
So exactly how do you know if you can utilize your benefits below? Call and ask (512-263-7896) or send me a message! I have the ability to address all of your questions, I’ve been working with insurance companies for over a decade!
