How to Find Out if Your Insurance Covers Your Dentist Visits

Video Transcript

"Are you trying to find out if your insurance will cover your dental visit? Well my name is Michelle and I'm a dental assistant with Solutionz and I'm here to help you find that out. Mainly there is a couple of different ways on how to find out if your insurance covers your dental visit. You would first need to call your insurance company and specifically ask them if they would cover your dental visits and the different types of treatment that you are going to be having. Once you find out that answer you need to contact your general dentist that you will be seeing and then ask them if they cover or are listed with your insurance company. Then in return once when you get your answers on both of those then you would be able to proceed forward with your treatments. Another form or way that you can find out if your insurance covers your visits is going on line, typing into any search engine what insurance plan that you have and then it will bring up a list of the different plans whether you have an HMO plan, whether it is a DMO plan or a PPO plan. If you do have a PPO dental insurance, nine times out of ten your dentist would be accepting on that plan so therefore you would be able to continue treatment with him. If you have a DMO plan or an HMO plan that is a specific list of dentists that accept that plan and therefore you would have to go to those specific dentists on those lists. So then you would need to contact you dentist's office, ask him if he is on that list, and then proceed forward. Once again my name is Michelle and I'm a dental assistance with Solutionz and I just helped you find out how your dental insurance covers your dental visits."
