Arvada Dental Center in Colorado knows that for many patients understanding, working with and paying for the right types of insurance and providers can be tedious and confusing. Ultimately, Arvada Dental Center is concerned specifically with providing the right care when patients need it, and a big part of that is helping navigate the murky waters of dental insurance. It’s important for patients to know how dental insurance differs from medical insurance. Dental insurance varies, much in the same way that medical coverage does, by company, coverage and cost. Dental insurance requires that each person pay a monthly premium, which many will note in the deductions on their periodic paystubs, similar to how medical coverage deductions are made. When the premium is paid, this makes a contract with the dental insurer, and any dentist contracted with that same provider must comply with the fee structure presented by the provider. The dental insurance provider dictates what each client’s co-pay will be, what the practitioner is allowed to charge, and what annual coverage limit they are going to cover.
