Patient Advocate Tip Tuesday: The Importance of a Pre-Determination for Major Dental Treatment
Navigating dental treatment costs can be overwhelming, but requesting a pre-determination from your insurance provider can help you make informed financial decisions before committing to major dental work.
What is a Pre-Determination?
A pre-determination is a written estimate from your dental insurance provider outlining what will be covered, how much will be paid, and what costs you’ll be responsible for.
Why is it Important?
✔️ Helps prevent unexpected out-of-pocket expenses.
✔️ Ensures transparency in treatment costs and coverage.
✔️ Gives you time to explore financial assistance options if needed.
How to Request One?
1️⃣ Ask your dentist to submit a pre-determination request to your insurance provider before scheduling major procedures.
2️⃣ Review the response carefully and ask questions if anything is unclear.
3️⃣ Use the information to plan for any remaining financial responsibility.
Taking this simple step can save you stress and financial surprises, ensuring that you receive the care you need without the worry.
