BlueCross BlueShield Coverage Availability & Fees
If you’re enrolled with BlueCross BlueShield and looking for oral surgery services in Coppell, our team goes the extra mile to ensure you can make an informed decision. Here's what you should know about how coverage typically works.
Being in-network means Dr. Steele’s office has negotiated fee arrangements with BlueCross BlueShield that help reduce your out-of-pocket cost compared to seeing an out-of-network provider.
Most PPO Plans Include:
- 100% coverage for preventive services like cleanings, check-ups, and screenings
- 80% coverage for minor restorative treatments, like tooth-colored dental fillings
- 50% coverage for major restorative services, including root canals and extractions
Like most other dental insurance plans, BlueCross BlueShield PPO is designed to reward preventive care. This is because $1 in preventive dentistry services can save an average of $50 on restorative and emergency dental procedures.
You’ll also have an annual maximum benefit, generally anywhere from $1500 to $2000. This is the total amount your provider will pay after your yearly deductible is met (though preventive services are sometimes exempt from this). After that, additional care will need to be out-of-pocket.
In addition, the vast majority of plans have a “use it or lose it” structure—meaning unused benefits don’t roll over to the next year. This is why it’s so important to talk to our team to ensure you’re making the most of your benefits before they disappear.
Before treatment, we will verify your specific BlueCross BlueShield plan benefits, including deductible, co-insurance percentage, and annual maximum. Then, we’ll work with you to schedule your procedures in a way that uses up those benefits while minimizing your personal costs.
