At First Coast Oral Surgery we make every effort to provide you with the finest care and the most convenient financial options.
To accomplish this we work hand-in-hand with you to maximize your insurance reimbursement for covered procedures.
If you have any questions, please ask our team.
Most dental insurance plans are primarily designed to help patients afford services like checkups and cleanings, but they also offer benefits to cover more complex treatments like extractions and implants. Our team will help our patients maximize their dental benefits at the consultation appointment.
For most plans, extractions are considered complex care. All dental insurance plans are different, and their percentage covered per treatment will differ from plan to plan. When it comes to dental implants, some plans offer coverage for the surgical placement of an implant, and some do not. Some plans will cover the extraction or the crown, and some do not.
Depending on available benefits some insurance plans may or may not cover the new teeth, such as the crown or the denture.
Don’t worry. We have a dedicated team of insurance experts to take care of the insurance details for you. We will verify your coverage ahead of time and provide you with an estimate of insurance coverage and your patient portion of the fee. We will file the claim for you and help you maximize your benefits.
As an in-network provider with some PPO dental insurance companies, this simply means we have a contract with the company to offer our services for a discounted rate, which the company then partially covers. This means when you visit an in-network oral surgeon, you actually save money in two different ways!
However, we’re also happy to work with most out-of-network PPO plans as well to help you get any reimbursement to which you are entitled. The bottom line is that we are always willing to help you secure reimbursement even if you have a plan that we do not work with directly. Reimbursement amounts vary, of course, but they often provide you with significant cost savings.
