Insurance Information
Most major insurance plans are accepted. Below are some of the insurances we accept:
- Aetna
- Delta Dental
- Cigna
- MetLife
- Guardian
- United Concordia
- Dominion
- Benecare
If you have dental insurance, we will be happy to process your primary insurance claim form. (Secondary insurance filing is the patient’s responsibility.)
Please provide us with a completed insurance form. We will ask you to pay your initial exam/consult fee, and we will submit to your insurance company for your reimbursement. We will gladly, send a pre-determination to your insurance company for the proposed treatment. The predetermination response from your insurance company will indicate the amount they will pay per procedure, and you will be financially responsible for any balance not covered by your insurance company. The two exceptions to this insurance policy are Blue Shield and Delta Dental of PA. Their policy is to reimburse the patient directly for all fees per the plan benefits.
We must emphasize that, as a dental care provider, our relationship is with you, not your insurance company. While the filing of insurance claim is a courtesy that we extend to our patients, all charges are your responsibility from the date the services are rendered.
If you have any question about the above information or any uncertainty regarding insurance coverage, PLEASE do not hesitate to ask us. We are here to help you.
