BCBS Coverage Availability & Fees
BlueCross BlueShield of Oklahoma offers a number of different dental plans. Many of them are PPO in nature, which means that you have the freedom to visit any dentist. PPO plans can vary in their coverage, so you will have to check the specifics of your policy to discover how it works. In the meantime, we can give you an overview of how PPO plans in general operate:
- Preventive care: Exams, routine X-Rays, and cleanings are usually 100% covered.
- Primary services: This category usually includes things like maintenance and periodontal services. Depending on your plan and the specific treatment, primary services may be 50 – 90% covered.
- Major services: Crowns, dentures, and other major services may be covered at 30 – 50%.
While your plan may allow you to visit any dentist, it is to your advantage to visit an in-network practice. That’s because we have a contract with BCBS that controls prices. Plus, you will enjoy higher coverage levels. For example, something that is 80% covered at a non-network dentist may be 100% covered at an in-network dentist.
Keep in mind as well that PPO plans enforce an annual maximum. This is the greatest amount that BCBS will pay out for approved services within a calendar year. Typically, an annual maximum can be anywhere from $750 to $2,000. Choosing an in-network dentist help you get more out of your annual maximum. We may even be able to schedule major procedures across calendar years so you can utilize two annual maximums for the same treatment and minimize your out-of-pocket costs.
