Learn More About the Benefits of BlueCross BlueShield
Are you the owner of a dental insurance policy from BlueCross BlueShield (BCBS)? If so, you can regard it as a precious asset. Not only can it open the door to low-cost preventive services, but it can also significantly reduce the financial strain of times when your teeth and gums require a bit of restorative care. How can you get the most out of your plan? As an in-network BlueCross BlueShield dentist in Greenville, our practice is eager to assist you.
BlueCross BlueShield Coverage Availability & Fees
BCBS offers quite a few different dental insurance plans, each of which is unique in the benefits it provides. We encourage you to take time to review the details of your policy to learn the specifics of how it works.
In the meantime, we can provide general insight into the coverage that is often available through PPO dental insurance plans:
- Preventive services such as cleanings, exams, and X-rays are typically covered at 100%, meaning the insurance pays the full cost and you owe nothing out of pocket for these procedures.
- Basic services, which may include fillings and simple extractions, are often covered at 80%, so the insurance pays most of the fee and you are responsible for the remaining 20 percent.
- Major services, such as crowns, bridges, and dentures, are usually covered at 50%, with you paying half of the cost and the insurance covering the other half.
Remember that coverage percentages apply only up to the plan’s annual maximum, after which you are responsible for all costs until your coverage resets the following year. Because our team is in-network with BCBS, we have a contract that manages fees. Therefore, you will likely get more value out of your plan when you visit us rather than an out-of-network provider. Plus, we might even be able to schedule major services across calendar years, so you can use two annual maximums instead of merely one.
