If you have a dental insurance plan from UnitedHealthcare, you can count it as a true asset. Not only can it open a door to low-cost preventive services, but it may also greatly reduce your financial obligation for those times when your teeth and gums require restorative care. But how can you get the most out of your plan? As an in-network UnitedHealthcare dentist in Branford, our team is ready and eager to assist you! We can guide you through all the ins and outs of maximizing your insurance while you take excellent care of your smile.

UnitedHealthcare Coverage Availability & Fees

Quite a few different plans are available through UnitedHealthcare, and each one comes with a unique set of fees, coverage levels, and stipulations. We strongly advise you to review the particulars of your policy so you understand how it may apply to the most common dental services.

While we cannot provide any specific information about your unique plan, we can offer a general overview of the coverage that is often available through UnitedHealthcare PPO policies:

Preventive services, such as checkups and cleanings, are often up to 100% covered. This benefit usually starts on the first day you hold your policy.
Basic services, like fillings, are often up to 80% covered. Some plans start out with a lower coverage level, which may increase over time.
Major services, such as dentures and crowns, are up to 50% covered, after any applicable waiting period.

Another feature that your plan is likely to have is an annual maximum, which is a yearly limit on the amount of money that UnitedHealthcare will pay for approved services. Since our Branford office is in-network with UnitedHealthcare, we have a contract with them that manages fees. Therefore, you can expect to get greater value out of your plan when you visit us instead of going to see an out-of-network dentist. In some cases, we can even schedule major services across calendar years — this can allow you to use two annual maximums instead of merely one.
