Understanding In-Network
vs Out-of-Network Coverage
Many patients assume that visiting a dentist outside their network means losing their benefits entirely. With PPO plans, that’s not the case. Your PPO benefits travel with you, not with a specific clinic. Here’s what actually changes:
| Factor | In-Network | Out-of-Network PPO |
|---|---|---|
| Annual Maximum | Yes | Yes |
| Insurance Covers a Percentage | Yes | Yes |
| We File Your Claims | Yes | Yes |
| Fee Schedule | Negotiated rate | Usual and customary rate |
| Your Out-of-Pocket Cost | Lower, based on negotiated fees | May be slightly higher |
| Choose Your Own Dentist | Yes | Yes |

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my insurance is in-network?
Call us at (425) 898-2168 with your insurance card and our team will verify your specific plan, your remaining benefits for the year, and your expected out-of-pocket cost for the visit you are booking.
Do you file my insurance claims?
Yes. We file PPO claims on your behalf and work directly with your insurance provider.
What if my insurance pays less than expected?
We do our best to estimate accurately based on what your carrier tells us at verification, but insurance benefits are not guaranteed until paid. If there is a balance after insurance settles, we will explain why and offer payment options.
Do you have a membership plan for uninsured patients?
Not at this time. Patients without insurance are still welcome, and CareCredit financing is available for larger treatment plans.
How does CareCredit work?
CareCredit is a healthcare credit card with several promotional financing options, including interest-free periods for qualifying patients. You can apply in advance at carecredit.com or with help from our front-office team.
Will you tell me my estimated cost before treatment?
Always. You will receive a clear, written estimate before any treatment begins, including your expected insurance coverage and your out-of-pocket portion.
Can I use my HSA or FSA card?
Yes, in most cases. Most Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) can be used for eligible dental services. Bring your card and any documentation your plan requires.
Does dental insurance cover cosmetic treatments?
Most purely cosmetic treatments are not covered. When a treatment has both a cosmetic and restorative function (a crown, a tooth-colored filling, or some Invisalign cases, for example), insurance often does contribute.
Is sleep apnea oral appliance therapy covered?
Sleep apnea treatment is typically covered by medical insurance, not dental insurance. We help with verification and prior authorization on the medical side.
