UnitedHealthcare Coverage Availability & Fees

UHC offers a variety of dental plans, which vary greatly in the benefits they provide. We recommend that you take time to review the details of your unique policy in order to understand how it works.

In the meantime, we can provide a general overview of the benefits that are commonly available through UnitedHealthcare PPO dental plans:

Preventive care, including cleanings, checkups, and routine X-rays, may be up to 100% covered.
Basic services, often including fillings, may be around 80% covered.
Major treatments, like dentures and crowns, are often 50% covered.

Additionally, your plan may enforce:

A waiting period of 6 – 12 months before you can take advantage of certain benefits.
A deductible that you must pay out of pocket before your benefits kick in.
An annual maximum, which is a yearly cap on the amount that UHC will pay for approved services within a calendar year.

The Benefits of Seeing an In-Network Dentist

If you have a PPO dental insurance plan, you can use it at virtually any practice. So, what are the advantages of choosing an in-network provider like New Haven Dental Group? There are several:

Lower Out-of-Pocket Costs: You will likely pay less for your dental care because most insurance plans cover a higher percentage of services at an in-network practice.
Streamlined Claims Process: You benefit from direct billing and fewer paperwork hassles, since our office files claims on your behalf.
Predictable Pricing: You get to enjoy clear, pre-negotiated rates for treatments, so you know what to expect before your visit. Often, these rates are lower than what you would encounter at out-of-network practices.
Maximized value: You are likely to get more out of your annual maximum than you would at an out-of-network provider.
