Dental Insurance 101
The majority of Americans obtain their dental coverage through their employers. However, it’s important to note that individual employers negotiate the terms of these benefits, including how much of the coverage cost they will cover. Consequently, two individuals under the same insurance provider can pay different prices for identical services. The fees and premiums you encounter also hinge on whether your plan requires you to visit a dentist who accepts PPO insurance or one who accepts HMO insurance. PPO dental plans generally come with higher premiums and fees. Still, they grant you the flexibility to choose from a broader network of dentists. In contrast, HMO dental plans tend to be more cost-effective. Still, they necessitate that you select your dental provider from a predetermined list.
Navigating Dental Insurance: How to Utilize Your Coverage with a Worcester Dentist
While our dedicated staff can assist you in finding a dentist who accepts your insurance, it’s important to direct specific questions about your insurance benefits to your insurance provider. When you’ve identified a dentist in Worcester, we recommend reaching out to your dental plan provider and asking the following essential questions before scheduling your appointment:
- Annual Deductible:Â What is my annual deductible?
- Benefit Limit:Â What is my annual benefit limit?
- Tracking Deductible and Limit:Â How can I keep track of the amount applied towards my deductible and annual limit?
- Co-Payments:Â Do I need to pay a co-pay for each office visit?

Our providers and office staff are dedicated to keeping you well-informed about your treatment options throughout the entire process to maximize your insurance coverage.
