Learn How BlueCross BlueShield Can Help You Save

Making sure your child’s smile receives the quality care it deserves doesn’t necessarily come cheap. Instead, most dental services can be costly; however, forgoing treatment can lead to more expensive problems and solutions. Fortunately, if you have dental insurance that covers your child, you can stress less about the out-of-pocket costs you may incur, especially if you’re seeing a BlueCross BlueShield dentist in Coppell. Since Dr. Linda works closely with BCBS, her in-network partnership benefits you when it comes to lowering the price of your child’s dental needs. If you have questions about your BCBS policy, don’t hesitate to contact our office.

BlueCross BlueShield Coverage Availability & Fees

There are many different BlueCross BlueShield plans available for patients and their families to choose from, so no matter if you enroll through your employer or on your own, you are likely to save considerably when choosing an in-network provider.

As it is with most PPO plans, the breakdown of benefits appears similar when comparing the percentage of coverage. It might look like:

  • 100% coverage for preventive services (i.e., dental checkups, dental cleanings, X-rays)
  • 80% coverage for minor restorative services (i.e., dental fillings, simple extractions)
  • 50% coverage for major restorative services (i.e., dental crowns, complex extractions, dentures)

If you are concerned about your child potentially needing orthodontics in the future, you’ll want to review your existing plan to see if braces are covered. Generally, most insurance companies will cover anywhere from 25-75%; however, there may be certain exclusions that pertain to your child’s age.

By working with an in-network dentist, though, you can expect that whether it’s an exam and cleaning that your child needs or a more invasive procedure like pulp treatment, you’ll pay less as long as you’ve met the deductible for the year.
