Your employer has chosen an insurance carrier and a specific employee plan. When you become a patient of our office, we will determine whether your insurance covers the particular procedure you’re inquiring about after we verify the details with your insurance provider. Remember that your insurance carrier or employer can also provide detailed information regarding your policy if you would like to learn more about it in advance.

We work with most commercial insurance carriers and are pleased to accommodate an extensive array of dental insurance plans, except for MassHealth/Medicaid. Our team is proficient in submitting claims to nearly all dental insurance plans. While the majority of insurance companies remit payments directly to our practice, there are instances where they may reimburse the patient directly. We will diligently confirm your insurance particulars and promptly communicate your coverage and associated costs.

At Dental Partners of Boston, we are here to assist you in understanding your insurance reimbursement. The reimbursement amount depends on various factors, including your specific dental insurance plan, coverage limitations, and the procedure you need. While we do our best to provide you with an accurate estimated patient payment, we recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to get a more specific reimbursement estimate. They will have the most accurate information regarding your plan’s coverage and reimbursement rates. However, as a general guideline, many dental insurance plans typically cover a percentage of the preventive and primary procedures cost, while more complex treatments may have different coverage levels. The allowable amount differs from each insurance company and often from each specific plan. Therefore, the amount Dental Partners of Boston collects from you at the time of service is only an estimate. Your insurance carrier will dictate the final reimbursement amount and what portion we should collect from you.

When it comes to dental insurance, the best advice we can give is to consider your specific needs. Here are some things to keep in mind:

• Ensure the plan covers what you need, such as preventive care, routine check-ups, restorative procedures, or adult orthodontics (if applicable).
• Check if it has a vast network of dentists, specialists, and clinics in your area. Access to a broad network can offer you more choices and convenience when seeking dental care.
• Look at costs like premiums and co-pays. Consider your budget and ensure the premiums and expenses are reasonable and manageable.
• Decide if you want the freedom to choose your dentist. Some programs may offer greater flexibility, while others have more restrictions.
• Assess whether the dental insurance plan includes other services such as dental cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, and oral cancer screenings. These preventive services can help maintain good oral health.
• Research and read reviews about the insurance companies and plans you are considering. Look for feedback on customer service, claim processing, and overall customer satisfaction.
• If you have other dental coverage, see if they can work together.

Ultimately, the most essential step is to do your homework and think about what’s right for you. You can even chat with an insurance expert to get personalized advice based on your situation. It’s all about finding the best fit for your dental needs.

Dental Partners of Boston does not pre-set appointment fees. Your dentist will partner with you to determine your needs and the best course of treatment to achieve them. We will perform an examination, gather data, and develop an individualized care plan specifically for you. We understand that financial transparency is crucial, especially since the cost of dental treatment involves many things, including insurance benefits and a patient’s individual dental needs. We are happy to provide chairside financial consults when necessary, and our front desk strives to ensure that every patient leaves the office knowing their financial responsibility for the next appointment. We are here to help you make informed decisions about your oral health and its associated costs.
