When asking yourself, “What will my insurance cover?” don’t expect an easy answer. Any easy solution to the question is a myth.
Myth VS Truth
Myth: Your Dental Insurance will cover any work you need done.
Truth: Each insurance is different. There are deductibles, premiums, allowances, and percentages that all need to be factored in. Your dental provider should be able to provide an estimate for any dental work with these factors included. Always remember these are estimates and they may not always match up perfectly in the end. Every insurance is different, and so is every situation.
Present a Correct Treatment Plan
As a dental provider, you must strive to present correct treatment plans to your patients. When you accurately present a treatment plan, the patient is more likely to be pleased with the office and will schedule back for treatment. When you inaccurately present a treatment plan, the patient receives unexpected charges and will leave the office unhappy.
Happy patients make for a happy practice. Put in the necessary amount of time when verifying insurance coverage and putting together treatment plans.
