Find out where you stand before you book

How your benefits get checked, what Virginia Medicaid means here, and what happens when you do not have a plan.

Before you book

Nobody here guesses at your coverage

Most unpleasant surprises in dentistry are billing surprises, and they come from assuming what a plan covers instead of checking. Here is the order we work in, and why each part is there.

  1. Call with the card in front of you

    We take the plan details straight off it. You do not need an appointment to make the call, and asking commits you to nothing.

  2. We check with the plan, not the card

    The card names your insurer. It does not say what your particular plan pays for, because employers buy different versions of the same product, so we confirm your benefits with the plan directly.

  3. The exam turns that into your numbers

    Coverage only means something once there is something to apply it to. The exam and the X-rays are what turn a general benefit into what your own treatment would come to.

  4. You read it before anything is booked

    What we recommend, what your plan is expected to cover, and what would be left for you. Written down. Nothing is scheduled until you have seen it.

Before you call

Have these where you can see them

  • Your insurance card, or your Medicaid card
  • The subscriber name and date of birth, if the plan is not in your own name
  • The employer the plan came through, if it came through work
  • What is bothering you, in your own words
  • Whether you have been seen here before
