Which dental insurance plans does Stone Falls Dental Care accept?
We accept most dental insurance plans, including United Concordia, TriCare, Delta Dental and Blue Cross Blue Shield, as well as the various military insurance plans. If your plan isn’t named here, call and ask; there is a good chance we already work with it.
Accepting a plan is only the start. Our treatment coordinators work to get the most from your benefits, sequencing treatment where it makes sense so covered care is used well. Medical insurance can matter too: most medical plans cover oral appliances for diagnosed sleep apnea, which our page on sleep apnea treatment explains.
What is a complimentary benefits check?
A complimentary benefits check is a free review of your dental coverage before treatment. You give us your plan details, and a treatment coordinator checks what your policy covers, how much of your annual maximum is left and what your share of a recommended treatment is likely to be.
Most plans reset at the start of each year, and unused benefits generally don’t carry over. A benefits check toward the end of the year is a sensible time to restart treatment you postponed, so you aren’t leaving coverage behind.
How can I pay for my dental care?
The office takes cash, personal checks, and credit and debit cards including Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. If you’d like an estimate before you commit, ask; the treatment coordinators can lay out your share of the cost alongside what insurance is expected to pay.
For larger treatment, DocPay offers extended payment arrangements, so a balance can be paid over time instead of all at once. DocPay is also how you pay your account online through its secure portal.
Can I finance dental treatment?
Yes. We accept CareCredit, a healthcare credit card with promotional financing, including 0% promotional rates on approved credit. It can cover what insurance doesn’t, from a crown to a full smile makeover. You apply with CareCredit, not with us, and if you’re approved, treatment can be scheduled right away.
Promotional terms have conditions, and it pays to read them before you choose a plan. Our CareCredit page explains how the card and its promotions work.
What if I don’t have dental insurance?
You still have options. Military families receive a standing discount on all procedures with a military ID, and seniors receive a discount simply by mentioning it during the appointment.
The practice also runs new-patient and treatment offers that change through the year. See the current get-acquainted offers, then ask the front desk which are available when you call. For someone starting fresh without coverage, the $49 welcome exam, X-rays and cleaning has been one of the most practical of them.
