Learn More About the Benefits of BlueCross BlueShield
Your oral health and overall wellness are connected, which means healthy teeth and gums are essential for more than just a beautiful smile. Brushing and flossing aren't enough to keep preventable dental issues at bay, like cavities and gum disease. You should see a dentist regularly. Your dental insurance makes it easy and affordable to get the high-quality care you need. When visiting a BlueCross BlueShield dentist in Natick, you're investing in a healthy smile for minimal out-of-pocket expenses.
BlueCross BlueShield Coverage Availability & Fees
BlueCross BlueShield is a nationwide provider of comprehensive dental plans for families and individuals. Your premiums give you access to discounted rates for the services you need to keep your mouth healthy. Although every policy differs, most include:
- 100% of preventive dental care
- 80% of basic dental services
- 50% of major dental work
A co-payment allows you to visit your dentist every 6 months for a cleaning and checkup, as recommended by the American Dental Association. Routine preventive appointments are proven to stop common oral health issues from occurring. You'll be less likely to need costly dental work later and lessen your risk of tooth loss. Researchers have found that $1 of preventive care can save up to $50 on emergency and restorative fees.
If your dentist finds anything concerning, you don't have to worry about a large bill. After meeting your annual deductible, BlueCross BlueShield will cover some of the expenses until reaching your yearly limit. We will help you maximize your coverage to lower the amount you will pay for common restorative procedures, like dental fillings, tooth extractions, gum disease therapy, and crowns.
BlueCross BlueShield recommends choosing a dentist in their network to benefit from more coverage. They have pre-negotiated rates with preferred dental practices for select services to reduce out-of-pocket costs. You have the freedom to choose any dentist that accepts your coverage, even if they are out-of-network. However, your insurance may pay less of the costs.
Your dental insurance is a great investment to achieve a healthy smile that supports your general wellness. Unfortunately, your dental insurance doesn't last forever. Your benefits reset at the end of the calendar year and you'll lose anything you have not used. You won't be reimbursed for your premiums or deductibles. Any unused coverage will not carry over. With less than 3% of Americans meeting or exceeding their annual limits, we don't want to see you throw money down the drain.
