Insurance FAQ
What's the difference between Indemnity, PPO,
HMO, & Discount insurance plans?
Indemnity or Traditional Insurance
reimburses members or dentists at the dentist's
UCR (Usual, Customary & Reasonable fee).
This allows the subscriber to go to any dental
office without being limited to a panel.
PPO (Preferred Provider Organization)
is the most common form of insurance. They provide
members with a list of participating dentists
to choose from. The dentists on this list have
agreed to a lower fee schedule, which provides
you with greater cost savings. They also assist
with insurance billing. Most companies pay 50%
on major treatment (crowns, bridges, partials),
80% for basic care (fillings), and up to 100%
for preventative care (exams, x-rays, basic
cleanings). Annual maximums generally range
from $1,000 to $2,000.
Discount Plans simply consist
of a panel of dentists that have agreed to a
reduced rate, with the subscriber being solely
responsible for the entire portion. There is
no billing or annual maximums.
What's a covered benefit?
Treatment that is recommended by a dentist,
is listed on the fee schedule, and accepted
under the terms of your group's plan.
What's optional treatment?
Treatment that is either not listed on your
fee schedule or more than the minimum to restore
the tooth back to its original function.
