United Healthcare Orthodontist – Cumming, GA
Learn More About the Benefits of United Healthcare
If you have a dental insurance plan from United Healthcare, you may already use it liberally when you visit your general dentist’s office. It can allow you to enjoy low-cost preventive care and reduce your out-of-pocket expenses for restorative services. But did you know that it might also help you to straighten your smile? As an in-network United Healthcare orthodontist in Cumming, GA, our team is ready to help you maximize your benefits.
United Healthcare Coverage Availability & Fees
Every United Healthcare dental plan comes with a unique set of fees, stipulations, and coverage levels, so it is important that you learn about your unique policy. Generally speaking, you might expect 100% coverage for preventive care and 50 – 80% coverage for restorative services.
When it comes to orthodontic care, coverage can vary quite a bit from plan to plan. Here are some notes on how your benefits might work:
- Not all plans cover orthodontia. Premium plans are more likely to apply to braces and other orthodontic services.
- Coverage for minors is more common. Some plans will help to pay for braces for patients under 18 but exclude coverage for adults.
- You may have a lifetime orthodontic maximum. Unlike general dentistry services, braces may only be covered one time for the lifetime of your dental plan.
- Braces may be up to 50% covered. If your plan covers braces, it might pay for up to 50% of the cost of treatment, up to the specified amount of your lifetime orthodontic maximum. Many patients are able to reduce their out-of-pocket costs by up to $1,000 or more with the help of their insurance.
Because we are in-network with United Healthcare, you may enjoy lower fees with us than you would at out-of-network practices. You can expect us to do everything we can to make sure you are getting the greatest value out of your benefits!
