benefit FAQs
How do benefit plans work?
Dental benefit are designed to make dental care easier to afford, but is NOT insurance. They only cover some of the costs and treatment recommended by a dentist. Most plans are a contract between your employer and a dental plan provider like Metlife, Blue Cross, Guardian etc.
what is a covered benefit?
A covered benefit is treatment that is recommended by a dentist, is listed on a carrier fee schedule, and accepted under the terms of your group's plan. Not all treatment you may need will be on this list.
what is a ppo plan?
(Preferred Provider Organization) is the most common form of insurance. Provider dentists agree to a lower fee schedule, which provides you with greater cost savings. Most companies pay 50% on major treatment (crowns, bridges, partials), 80% for basic care (fillings), and up to 100% for preventative care (exams, x-rays, basic cleanings). Annual maximums generally range from $1,000 to $2,000.
i have two policies, can i use both?
Sure you can! This can be a huge benefit when it comes to paying for dental treatment. There are a few rules that apply to which is your primary policy and how it will work with your secondary. Don’t worry - we will check this for you and walk you thru the process.
what is non-duplication of benefits?
This applies to patients with more than one benefit policy. This clause prohibits your secondary plan from paying ANY benefits if your primary plan paid the same or more than what the secondary plan allows for that dentist.
what happens if my plan denies my treatment?
First of all, don’t worry! It’s commonplace for plan providers to deny claims. Most of the time they just need additional information to process on their end. In some cases claims are deemed not dentally necessary; in this situation an appeal will be submitted on your behalf.
