Some insurances allow us to predetermine a patient’s coverage by providing an estimate prior to the appointment. 📋💲
A predetermination works as a proposal to show you what could be covered if you’re still thinking about treatment options! 🤓 The way it works is by our office submitting an electronic request with treatment details, the insurer then reviews the information and sends back a predetermination of benefits. ✅
It is not a guarantee of payment. It’s simply just an extra step in the process to help prevent surprises and allow you to make an informed decision. 😁
Care Dental works directly with most insurance companies, ensuring you only pay your portion at the time of the appointment. Our Care team reviews estimates beforehand to avoid billing surprises. Keep in mind that it’s the patient’s responsibility to understand their insurance coverage and limits. To use our direct billing option, we require a credit card on file to cover any residual balances or overages.
