Understanding In-Network
vs Out-of-Network Coverage
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 |
