Learn More About the Benefits of BlueCross BlueShield
If you have a BlueCross BlueShield (BCBS) dental insurance plan, you can view it as a precious resource. It may allow you to enjoy essential preventive care for little to nothing out of pocket, and it can reduce the financial strain of restorative treatments as well. Still, you might wonder how you can get the most out of your benefits. As an in-network BlueCross BlueShield dentist, our Rockville team is here to help. Continue reading below to learn more.
BlueCross BlueShield Coverage Availability & Fees
BCBS offers several different dental insurance plans, and coverage details can vary significantly between them. It is important that you set aside a bit of time to learn about the nuances of your specific policy.
In the meantime, here is a general overview of the PPO benefits that you may enjoy:
- Preventive care (Class I), such as cleanings and exams, may be up to 100% covered at in-network providers. At out-of-network practices, treatment may be 80% covered.
- Basic services (Class II), including fillings and simple extractions, are 60 – 80% covered.
- Major services (Class III and IV) are between 35% and 80% covered, depending on the specific service and network status. Class III services include root canal therapy and some types of oral surgery. Class IV services are primarily restorative, such as dentures, bridges, and crowns.
Your plan may also come with a deductible, a waiting period before you are eligible for certain types of care, and other stipulations.
As an in-network BCBS dentist, we can help you navigate the details of your plan. Plus, as you may have noticed when reviewing the above information, out-of-pocket fees tend to be lower at in-network practices!
We are experts at dealing with BCBS and will suggest strategies to help you get the greatest value from your plan.
