We work with the majority of PPO plans to help you get the most from your dental benefits and we handle the paperwork so you don't have to.
At Tranquility Dental Wellness in Lacey, we believe navigating dental insurance should be the easy part. Our team works with most major PPO dental insurance plans to make your care as affordable and straightforward as possible. From verifying your benefits before your first visit to filing every claim on your behalf, we take care of the insurance process from start to finish.
Many patients assume that visiting a dentist outside their network means losing their benefits entirely. With PPO plans, that’s not the case. Your PPO benefits travel with you, not with a specific clinic. Here’s what actually changes:
| Factor | In-Network | Out-of-Network PPO |
|---|---|---|
| Annual Maximum | Yes | Yes |
| Insurance Covers a Percentage | Yes | Yes |
| We File Your Claims | Yes | Yes |
| Fee Schedule | Negotiated rate | Usual and customary rate |
| Your Out-of-Pocket Cost | Lower, based on negotiated fees | May be slightly higher |
| Choose Your Own Dentist | Yes | Yes |
