We understand it is important for us to be in-network with most insurance companies for our patients across the region. However, dentistry can be costly, and we don’t want patients to have more barriers keeping them from the treatment they need. Maintaining good oral health is essential. We choose to be in-network with most insurance companies to provide our patients with discounted rates. Basically, this allows us to give our patients the best estimates, and then they can plan their treatment and how they can get it all done.
How Do I Find Out If My Dentist Is In My Network?
To find out if our dentists are in your network, you can contact your insurance company, or call our office. Many dental insurance companies have websites that list in-network providers. Additionally, we have a full list of companies we are in-network with that you can see when you visit our website.
What If My Dentist Is Not In-Network with my Dental Insurance?
If Higginbotham Family Dental is not in-network, we can check your out-of-network benefits and estimate cost. Sometimes, we contact your insurance company to see if becoming in-network is an option. Meanwhile, we have a discount dental membership and payment plans, and we accept third-party finances such as care credit.
What If I Can't Afford My Dental Co-Pay?
If your dentist is not in-network with your insurance, and you can’t afford your copay, do not worry.
