Aetna Dentist – Plano, TX
How to Maximize Your Aetna Dental Benefits
Taking care of your oral health certainly requires that you adopt good dental hygiene habits that you practice at home, but if you want to make sure that you avoid more invasive procedures in the future, you’ll practice preventive dentistry in the form of regular checkups and cleanings. These six-month visits are not only recommended by our Legacy Trails Dental of Plano team but also by the American Dental Association. If you’re hesitant to schedule an appointment, though, because you fear what it might cost, remember that as an Aetna dentist in Plano, our team is here to help lower the fees associated with preventive and restorative care. Call us today so that we can begin finding ways for you to save.
Aetna Coverage Availability & Fees
To understand how your Aetna policy works, it’s important to remember these few facts:
- Your dental insurance benefits are good for one year (January to December).
- Your benefits will not roll over, so you must use them within the calendar year.
- Any unused funds (annual maximum) at the end of the year will be returned to your insurance company.
- Your annual deductible will be reset to $0 on January 1; you’ll be required to meet it before your insurance company begins to pay more.
- You will be required to pay your monthly premium if you want Aetna to pay its portion of your preventive and restorative treatments.
When reviewing your policy, you’ll notice that the available coverage percentages are different for in-network and out-of-network dentists. Generally, if you see someone who is in-network with Aetna, like our dentists, the breakdown of coverage might look like the following:
- 100% preventive dentistry
- 80% minor restorative dentistry
- 50% major restorative dentistry
Choosing an in-network dentist who partners with Aetna will help you save hundreds or even thousands of dollars each year.
