Announcing New Preferred Provider Networks

I am excited to announce that I have recently become a preferred provider for Washington Dental Service (WDS) and/or Delta Dental. I am also continuing as a preferred provider for Regence and Premera.

Because there are so many insurance companies and benefits are always changing, understanding your benefits can be challenging. Our office is lucky to have Val, who is our insurance expert and is dedicated to helping you understand and get the best value from your dental insurance benefits. 

People often ask if we "take" their insurance. The simple answer is that we bill all insurance companies. However, some insurances have certain requirements that must be met before they will pay any benefits. For example, some insurance companies will require you to be treated by a dentist who is in their network of "preferred providers," which means that the dentist has agreed to accept the insurance company's standard fee for a service.  If your insurance is not one of the ones listed for which we are preferred providers, it is still likely that your insurance will cover your dental care at our office. To find out what your benefits are, call your insurance and ask if you are allowed to see the dentist of your choice. (Or call Val, and she can find out for you).

We are happy to welcome our new WDS and Delta Dental patients to our practice, and encourage all of our patients to make use of Val's expertise to better understand and utilize your dental benefits.
