Learn More About the Benefits of Aetna
If you have a dental insurance plan from Aetna, you can count it as a valuable resource. It may give you access to low-cost preventive care, and it might reduce the financial burden of restorative treatments as well. But how can you get the greatest value out of your plan? Our Woodbridge team is an in-network Aetna dentist, and we would be pleased to help you maximize your benefits. Contact us today to discover how we can do so.
Aetna Coverage Availability & Fees
Aetna dental insurance can be a helpful tool for making routine care and certain treatments more affordable. However, every policy is different, so it is important to review your specific benefits before you schedule any treatments. In the meantime, here is an overview of the coverage that might be available if you have an Aetna PPO plan:
- Preventive services, such as exams, cleanings, and routine X-rays, are often 100% covered, especially when you visit an in-network dentist.
- Basic treatments, such as fillings or simple extractions, may be around 80% covered,
- Major services, such as crowns, bridges, and dentures, are typically up to 50% covered.
- Some plans include waiting periods before basic or major services are eligible for coverage, though these might be waived if you had dental insurance before switching to Aetna.
- A deductible may apply before you are eligible for any coverage.
- Most plans enforce an annual maximum, which is a yearly limit on the amount that Aetna will pay for approved services in a calendar year.
The Benefits of Seeing an In-Network Dentist
If you have a PPO plan, you are free to use your Aetna policy at virtually any dental practice. Why, then, is it wise to choose an in-network provider? There are some noteworthy advantages to doing so:
- We have a contract with Aetna that controls fees, which often translates to lower out-of-pocket costs for patients.
- Coverage rates are sometimes higher at in-network practices.
- We are used to working with Aetna, so we are well-equipped to help you through the entire process of using your benefits, from acquiring preauthorization to filing claims and so much more.
