Dental Insurance

At Calgary Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, we understand that navigating dental insurance can be challenging. Our knowledgeable team is here to assist you in maximizing your benefits and making the process as smooth as possible.

How We Help You Maximize Your Benefits

We offer direct billing to dental insurance providers, and we are committed to helping you get reimbursed quickly and efficiently. Our team will:

File Your Claims Electronically: We submit your insurance claims electronically on your behalf to ensure faster processing and quicker reimbursement.
Provide Detailed Treatment Estimates: Before your procedure, we can offer a detailed breakdown of costs, which you can submit to your insurance provider for pre-approval.
Answer Your Insurance Questions: Our staff is experienced in working with various insurance companies and can guide you through any questions about your coverage, claims, and reimbursements.

What You Need to Know

Payment at Time of Service:

Since we do not direct-bill insurance providers, payment is required at the time of your appointment. We accept a variety of payment methods, including cash, debit, Visa, and MasterCard.

Submitting Claims:

After your procedure, we will provide all necessary documentation for you to submit to your insurance provider if required. However, most claims are filed electronically by our office, reducing the need for additional paperwork.

Understanding Your Coverage:

Dental insurance plans vary widely. We recommend checking with your provider to understand your coverage, including deductibles, co-pays, and any limitations on surgical procedures.

Common Insurance Questions

Will my insurance cover oral surgery procedures?

Coverage depends on your specific plan and the type of procedure. Many plans cover a portion of oral surgery costs. We can help you review your benefits and provide an estimate.

How long does it take to get reimbursed?

Since we file claims electronically, most patients receive reimbursement within a few business days. However, processing times can vary depending on your insurance provider.

Do you offer payment plans?

While we do not offer in-house financing, we are happy to discuss payment options to make your care more affordable.
