BlueCross BlueShield Dentist – Goodyear, AZ

BlueCross BlueShield Coverage Availability & Fees

Dental insurance plans from BlueCross BlueShield typically work along these lines:

• 100% coverage for routine oral care like checkups, cleanings, and X-rays. This may also include at least one emergency visit a year.
• 80% coverage for minor restorative treatments like fillings and gum disease therapy.
• 50% coverage for major restorative work like extractions and dentures.
• Possibly some coverage for orthodontic work, but this may be limited to minors listed as dependents on your plan.
• No coverage for elective, medically unnecessary procedures such as most cosmetic treatments.

If you have an HMO plan, you will probably be restricted to seeing only in-network dentists in order to qualify for coverage, but your plan probably won’t impose many more restrictions other than that. PPO plans, on the other hand, typically allow policyholders to see any dentist they like and still qualify for coverage, but they usually impose limitations such as a waiting period that must end before the policy begins, a deductible that must be met before coverage takes effect, or an annual maximum that defines how much the plan can pay in a year.

The team at Goodyear Family Dental will be happy to help you navigate the terms of your policy and maximize the benefits it offers when we see you at our office.
