Out Of Network: What It Really Means & The Benefits For Patients
Did you know that a dentist who is out-of-network with your dental insurance provider can still give you the care you need? What’s more, an out-of-network dentist has unrestricted access to the highest-quality materials and the latest techniques to better serve your interests. That’s because an insurance company is not dictating what they can do for you. In other words, you shouldn’t discount our dental practice just because we are not an in-network provider with your dental insurance plan.
Benefits of Using an Out-of-Network Dentist
With an out-of-network doctor providing your dental care, you simply get better oral healthcare. For covered services, in-network dentists are often forced to work within certain parameters based on what the insurance company deems appropriate and acceptable, which may not be the best solution for the patient. An out-of-network provider is not bound by any insurance policy rules or restrictions and can still file a reimbursement claim on your behalf to help you maximize any benefits you might be entitled to receive.
Total Autonomy & Control Over Treatment Plans—No limitations means that a dentist can create a treatment plan considering only the patient’s best interests. An out-of-network doctor can select the best combination of treatments for the patient without having to seek input or prior authorization from another entity that has never spoken to the patient and does not know what they need to achieve their oral health goals.
Complete Freedom of Choice & Decision Power—Not having to consult an insurance company prior to proceeding with treatment means giving the patient full control over their own dental care decisions. The middle man is eliminated, and only the doctor and patient make decisions about the best materials, techniques, and technology to use. There are fewer delays in the process because the doctor and patient never need to wait for a “green light” from an insurance provider to proceed.
Higher Quality Care & Overall Satisfaction—Executing a treatment plan properly and effectively requires high-quality materials and up-to-date techniques. The upfront investment may be higher, but the results will be superior, which is always better for the patient, not just for their health but for their happiness as well.
