What are dental PPO Plans?
Dental PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plans come with a network feature, striking a balance between affordability and flexibility in choosing your dentist.
PPO dentists are part of your network and agree to accept negotiated fees as full payment for PPO patients, instead of their regular charges. When you visit a PPO In-Network dentist, you generally pay a percentage of the reduced rate (referred to as coinsurance), while the plan covers the remainder. The specific percentage varies based on the type of service, such as diagnostic and preventive or major treatments. For instance, preventive services may be covered at 80%, leaving you responsible for 20%, whereas procedures like crowns and bridges might have a 50% coverage rate. PPO plans usually require you to meet a deductible and have an annual maximum coverage limit (e.g., $1,000 per year).
With PPO dental insurance, you can typically see any in-network OR out-of-network dentist, but you will very likely pay more out of pocket with an out of network provider
Why Choose a in-network Dentist that Accepts BlueCross Dental?
A lot of patients ask us this question “What’s the difference between seeing a dentist that’s in-network and one that is out-of-network?” The biggest difference is the amount of “out of pocket” expense that the patient pays. In other words, you will pay more seeing an out-of-network dentist. Fortunately for most families, Sun Ridge Smiles is in-network with most insurance plans. Here’s some other reasons to stay in-network:
No Waiting for re-imbursement
When you are treated by a BlueCross Dental dentist, you don’t have to pay the entire bill right away and then having to wait for reimbursement from BlueCross Dental. Instead, BlueCross dental pay your dentist directly, and send you a notice explaining your portion of the bill. You pay the dentist only that amount at the time of appointment scheduling. In some rare cases, if your insurance provider does not pay your portion then it is YOUR responsibility to pay the difference, but this is still less than going to a out of network dentist.
