Learn More About the Benefits of United Healthcare
Dental insurance is an incredibly helpful tool that can help patients undergo treatments at a much lower rate than normal. But did you know that you could further minimize your out-of-pocket expenses by visiting an office where you can get in-network coverage? At our practice, our United Healthcare dentist in Alexandria can offer multiple benefits when undergoing care through your insurance plan. Keep reading to learn more about how your coverage works so that you can make the most of your advantages while taking care of your smile!
United Healthcare Coverage Availability & Fees
In the majority of cases, the typical format for dental insurance benefits involves the following:
- 100% of the cost of preventive dentistry (checkups, cleanings, X-rays, etc.)
- 80% of the cost of minor restorative treatments (fillings, etc.)
- 50% of the cost of major restorative procedures (dental implants, extractions, etc.)
By undergoing services with our United Healthcare dentist, you’ll be able to expect treatment rates that have already been negotiated between us and your insurance provider. In many cases, this means you can enjoy much lower prices for certain procedures compared to other practices. Just remember that the only way to take advantage of your benefits is to pay your monthly premium, meet your deductible every year, and visit an in-network dentist.
When making the contract, your dentist will agree to charge a set fee for certain services. That’s why you’ll be able to pay less while undergoing the same high-quality option dental care you need. Of course, you don’t have to specifically visit an in-network professional. Out-of-network dentists can still be an option, but you’ll just have to expect to pay more for treatments under their care.
