Dental Insurance We Accept and Will File For Patients

At Higginbotham Family Dental, we accept many types of dental insurance plans from several dental insurance providers. Since there are various insurance providers who offer multiple plans, each individuals’ coverage can vary. With that in mind, our insurance coordinators would be happy to verify your insurance plan for you before your appointment and answer any questions you may have! 

Coverage Offered By Dental Insurance Plans

Since there are various dental insurance plan types,  each individual’s insurance coverage will vary from the next. The policy for coverage is typically dependent on how a specific treatment plan is categorized. The three main categories are preventive, basic restorative, and advanced restorative. 

The categorization and coverage for the different types of treatments will vary on a plan-to-plan basis. So it’d be best to review the type of coverage offered for each category in your plan to know more about the coverage offered by your specific dental insurance plan.

Typical Working Of Dental Insurance

Given that dental insurance plans differ, the coverage they offer varies. However, they all have one thing in common: their main focus is on preventative dental care. This means that insurance companies are focused on preventing oral health issues from occurring instead of treating them.

No matter which dental insurance plan type or provider you choose, it’d be beneficial to know some common terms, which are explained below:

Maximum – As the name suggests, the term maximum means the maximum or capped-off amount your dental insurance will pay for your dental treatments in a given year.

Deductible – Deductible is the amount of money your insurance provider requires you to pay out of your pocket before your benefits begin.

Premium – Premium is the amount you pay for dental insurance; it may be on a monthly or annual basis.
