Anthem BlueCross BlueShield (BCBS) offers a number of dental insurance plans; each is unique in the coverage it offers, so it would be best if you examine the details of your specific policy to find out how it works.

In the meantime, here is a basic overview of the PPO benefits that are often available through Anthem BCBS:

  • Basic services, such as checkups, cleanings, and exams, are typically 100% covered.
  • Minor services, often including fillings and other relatively simple restorative treatments, may be around 80% covered.
  • Major treatments, like dentures and crowns, are often around 50% covered.

Your plan may also enforce:

  • A waiting period before you are eligible for certain benefits.
  • A deductible that you must pay out-of-pocket before your benefits kick in.
  • An annual maximum, which is a yearly cap on the amount that the insurance company will pay out for approved services.

The Benefits of Seeing an In-Network Dentist

If you have a PPO plan from Anthem BlueCross BlueShield, you can use it at virtually any dental practice in the U.S. However, there are distinct benefits to choosing an in-network provider like Family Dental Practice of Bloomfield:

  • We have negotiated rates with Anthem, which means you are likely to pay less out of pocket than you would at an out-of-network provider.
  • Often, coverage rates are higher at in-network providers.
  • We are used to dealing with your insurance company, so we are in an excellent position to help you navigate the claims process, acquire preauthorization, and more.
