You could drive over an hour to see someone who\u2019s in-network, and maybe the savings in your cost would justify the expense of time and gas money to get you there, but is really worth it? How can you be sure about the difference between in-network and out-of-network dental benefits? The team at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smileyfamilydentistry.com\/new-patients.html\">Smiley Family Dentistry<\/a> are happy to help you get the most out of you benefits and in this post, they\u2019ll compare and contrast both options.<\/p>\n<h2><!--more-->What Are In-Network Dental Benefits?<\/h2>\n<p>In PPO dental plans, which are the most popular <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ada.org\/en\/public-programs\/dental-benefit-information-for-employers\/dental-plan-benefit-models\">type of dental insurance<\/a>, you have the ability to see both in-network and out-of-network providers. If you see an in-network dentist, your coverage will most likely offer more benefits to you, simply because their office has a contract with the insurance company. If you take advantage of seeing a doctor who\u2019s struck a deal with your insurance provider, you can generally expect to receive services at a lower cost than seeing someone who\u2019s out-of-network. The downside? In-network providers can sometimes be limited, and you may have to drive or wait for an appointment.<\/p>\n<h2>What Are Out-Of-Network Dental Benefits?<\/h2>\n<p>The great thing about PPO plans is that you can see virtually whoever you want and still receive coverage on services \u2013 you get the freedom to choose the dentist who\u2019s right for you. Many insurance companies offer 100-80-50 coverage, which means your plan will pay 100% percent of the charges for preventive care like exams, X-rays, and cleanings, 80% on routine services like fillings, and 50% on more advanced services like crowns or bridges. While you may end up paying slightly more out-of-pocket than if you saw an in-network provider, you can still reap the excellent advantage of being able to choose your dentist, which means you won\u2019t have to start over someplace new with a dentist you don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<h2>What Are My Insurance Options At Smiley Family Dentistry?<\/h2>\n<p>At our practice, we pride ourselves on making dental care affordable for all of our patients.
