Understanding How Dental Insurance Works
Navigating dental insurance in Idaho Falls can be overwhelming, especially if it’s your first time. Our team will make sure that the process is stress-free and easy for you. You only pay the amount of your insurance coverage when you get treatment. This is usually a discounted or reduced cost depending on the plan you have. We will then take care of the rest. We will work directly with the insurance company to get the payment you deserve.
Dental Insurance: What it covers
Dental insurance is different from most other medical plans in that it focuses more on prevention than repair. Why? It is more economical to prevent dental problems than to fix them. The coverage of most plans looks like this.
- Preventive health care is covered to the tune of 80% – 100% percent.
- 70% to 80% of minor restorative services are covered.
- 50% coverage of major restorative treatment.
Our In-Network PPO Dental Insurance Providers
We are pleased to say that we work with the majority of PPO dental insurers, such as:
- Delta Dental
- Blue Cross Blue Shield
- Metlife
- GEHA
- Cigna
- Aetna
- There are many others!
Call us to find out if your plan is accepted! Even if your insurance is not part of our network, we will still submit claims for you and maximize reimbursement.
Does your Idaho Falls dentist office work with Delta Dental?
Yes. We are in-network with Delta Dental. If your Delta Dental plan has certain restrictions, waiting periods, or coverage limitations (for example, crowns, bridges, root canals), we can review your policy with you so you know what portion will be covered and what you may need to pay out-of-pocket.
What should I do if I have insurance with Cigna or MetLife and want to use it for my Idaho Falls dental visit?
We accept both Cigna and MetLife insurance. Just bring your insurance information when you schedule your appointment (including the group number, member ID, etc.). We’ll run a benefits check to determine what parts of your treatment are covered under your plan.
Does your Idaho Falls dental office accept Aetna and UnitedHealthcare?
Yes, both Aetna and UnitedHealthcare are accepted here. We work with these providers to file insurance claims on your behalf. If there are services not covered (or if pre-authorization is required), we’ll inform you ahead of time about possible costs.
How can I find out what my dental insurance covers with DMBA, Blue Cross Shield, or other providers in Idaho Falls?
- First, contact your insurance company (for example DMBA, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Delta Dental, etc.) to ask what your deductible is, what services are covered, and whether your provider is in-network.
- Provide us with your plan information — we’ll verify coverage and estimate your out-of-pocket cost before treatment.
- Remember, coverage often includes preventive exams and cleanings, but more complex procedures (crowns, orthodontics, implants) may have limitations or require prior authorization.
