Call Kennewick Dental to Determine if Your Insurance is Accepted
When searching for a dentist in Kennewick, WA, it’s essential to consider your insurance plan. Some policies may only cover treatment from specific dentists. Our office works with a variety of insurance plans, but it’s important to confirm whether or not we’re in-network with your specific provider. If you have any questions about your insurance coverage, our friendly staff is here to help. We can guide you through the process and ensure that you receive the maximum benefits available. We also offer the convenience of being able to submit your insurance claim directly, saving you time and hassle.
It is the responsibility of the patient to understand how your preferred provider organization or health maintenance organization works. You may need to contact your insurance provider for clarification as well. If your insurance falls under the PPO, you can generally work with any dentist you prefer. If you have coverage through an HMO plan, you’ll have to verify coverage at our dental office.
What Treatments and Procedures are Covered?
Dental issues can arise at any time and not all treatments and procedures are fully covered by insurance providers. In many cases, if you have insurance, you can expect some level of coverage. If you’ve recently changed insurance policies, take time to familiarize yourself with policies around choosing a dentist and what do in the event of a dental emergency. You don’t want to be on hold with your insurance provider while your tooth is aching and you are waiting to see if you qualify for coverage.
