We are moving out-of-network with all insurance companies in the coming months. To find out how this change impacts you, please use the worksheet links in this blog to call your dental insurance company today. 

What does our going-out-of network with insurance companies mean for you?

• YOU CAN STILL BE A PATIENT AT OUR OFFICE!
• WE CAN STILL BILL MOST INSURANCE COMPANIES, EVEN IF WE ARE OUT-OF-NETWORK.
  • Most dental insurance companies have out-of-network benefits!
• YOU WILL WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT YOUR DENTAL INSURANCE BENEFITS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
• You may find your insurance pays differently on your claims, sometimes they even pay directly to you.
• You may have an additional out of pocket expense for dental services at our office.
