Learn More About the Benefits of BlueCross BlueShield
Most dental insurance plans from BlueCross BlueShield are designed to encourage policyholders to seek preventive care that can help them avoid painful oral health problems that require costlier restorative treatments. This helps keep members healthy and premium rates low, and orthodontic treatments are sometimes covered by dental insurance policies since they can help patients avoid oral injuries and infections. The team at Rockwall Crossing Orthodontics will be happy to help you understand how your policy works when we see you at our office for your consultation.
BlueCross BlueShield Coverage Availability & Fees
Most dental insurance plans from BlueCross BlueShield offer coverage that works something like this:
- 100% coverage for routine preventive care such as checkups, cleanings, and X-rays.
- 80% coverage for minor restorative work like fillings and gum disease therapy.
- 50% coverage for major restorative treatments like dentures and bridges.
- Dental insurance plans typically do not offer any coverage for medically unnecessary cosmetic treatments. Some policies consider orthodontic treatments for adults to be in this category, but this is not always the case.
Many dental insurance plans offer some coverage for orthodontics, and these treatments are often more likely to be covered for dependents who are under the age of eighteen. Your policy may impose certain restrictions such as a waiting period before it comes into effect, a deductible that must be met before the coverage kicks in, or an annual maximum that defines the most amount of money the insurance provider will pay in a year.
