What You Need to Know About Dental Insurance

Hi there, I’m Dr. Mounts, and I want to talk to you for just a few minutes about dental insurance. So probably not the most exciting topic for some of you, but for others, dental insurance is something that you have questions about. Maybe you have it, you get it through your company, and you’re not really sure how those benefits help you. You’re not really sure what they’re going to cover. Then, the big thing is, is how much are you going to be out of pocket even with the dental insurance? This time of the year is really important with dental insurance.

So it’s kind of a good thing to get into your dental office, have your teeth checked out, and see if there’s anything that’s kind of come up here toward the end of the year that could be fixed on this year’s benefits. That’s one thing that most people don’t really understand with their dental insurance, but the other one really is how much is it going to cost me? That’s sometimes a tricky thing, but I really feel like here at Mounts Dental Care, we go out of our way to help you get a really, really good estimate so that you’ll know, with a pretty close certainty, on how much your bill is going to be whenever we get done. So we’re actually, we can be in contact with your insurance company for you. We can send in predetermination’s if we need to to make sure that we know exactly how much they’re going to do. Really, the best thing is, is I have a lady here named Sarah that she’s been doing this for over 20 years, just dealing really with the insurance companies.

That’s really her sole job is to make sure that she understands what your insurance policy does, how it works, and how it benefits you, and we’re here to help you with that. I’m not sure that a lot of other dental offices do that kind of stuff for their patients, but we really try to go out of our way to help our folks know how their plan works for them. If you’ve got some dental insurance leftover for this year, kind of getting down to the end of the year, and you haven’t been in, in a while, give us a call, come in and see us. Maybe we can get some things taken care of before those benefits go away. Our number is 501-753-0166.
