Anthem BlueCross BlueShield dental insurance covers millions of people. Are you one of them? If so, you can count your plan as a valuable resource. It likely greatly reduces the cost of essential preventive care while also making restorative services easier to afford. But how can you get the greatest possible value out of your plan? As an in-network BlueCross BlueShield dentist in Meriden, our team is ready to assist you.
BlueCross BlueShield Coverage Availability & Fees
BlueCross BlueShield (BCBS) is a large company with dozens of subsidiaries. Our practice is specifically in-network with Anthem BlueCross and BlueShield, which covers people in several states, including Connecticut.
When you first got your insurance, you may have had several different plans to choose from. We encourage you to take a bit of time to learn the nuances of how your benefits work. In the meantime, here is a general overview of the coverage you might enjoy from a BCBS PPO dental plan:
- 100% coverage for preventive care, such as cleanings, exams, and X-rays.
- Up to 80% coverage for basic services, like tooth-colored fillings and other relatively simple restorative procedures.
- Up to 50% coverage for major services, including crowns, dentures, and some types of oral surgery.
Keep in mind that your plan may also enforce a deductible, a waiting period before you can use certain benefits, and an annual maximum.
The Benefits of Seeing an In-Network Dentist
With a PPO plan, you have the privilege of being able to visit any dentist you want. So, why is it in your best interest to choose an in-network provider like Meriden Dental Group? There are a few reasons:
- Often, insurance companies provide higher coverage rates at in-network practices.
- We have a contract with Anthem that manages fees. This can mean savings for you and help you get more value out of your annual maximum.
- We are experts at working with your insurance company. We can answer your questions, file your claims, and work with you to make sure you get all the benefits you are entitled to.
