Frequently Asked Questions
Question : “Do you take MaineCare?”
Answer: No, we are not a MaineCare enrolled location.
Question: “Do you take my dental insurance?”
Answer: Most likely, YES! We bill all major commercial DENTAL insurance companies. This includes Delta Dental, Aetna, Humana, BlueCross, Metlife, UnitedHealthcare, BCBS, to name a few. Please be sure your plan is one that has dental and is not medical only. We do not bill medical insurance. The benefits your plan pays are not always completely available to us. We recommend patients call their insurance carrier to get a thorough understanding of what procedures their plan may, or may not cover. There are many, many different insurance plans and policies and we can never guarantee what insurance will or will not pay. The difference between our fee, and what your insurance pays is billable to you.
Question: “What does “Out-Of-Network” Mean?
Answer: We are an out-of-network provider, which means we are not bound by any contractual agreements with any insurance companies. What this means for you is that we will still bill your insurance! We have found many insurance companies (including Delta Dental) have an out-of-network provider benefit, which means they will cover a portion of your bill. If this is a concern, the we highly encourage you to provide your insurance information to our office at least a week in advance of your appointment so that we can verify your coverage has an “out of network” benefit. You may also contact your insurance provider and ask “Do I have out of network dental benefits?”
