United HealthCare Dentist MN

While not all United HealthCare plans are the same, there are still many similarities with how they are set up. You will pay a monthly premium in exchange for the insurer covering a large percentage of the costs from necessary preventative and restorative dental care. The specifics of your plan are dependent on a few things that take place during the enrollment period.  Your employer may, for example, make certain decisions to lower your annual maximum, while you may wish to pay more each month for more services.

United HealthCare plans have a strong emphasis on preventative care and will usually give you 100% coverage on your six-month dental cleaning appointments and exams. Restorative treatments such as fillings are usually covered up to around 80% from your benefit plan. Complex services like root canal therapy, dental crowns, dentures, and other services may receive coverage between 50 to 70%. Cosmetic treatments and other elective services like mouthguards and orthodontics not directly required for oral health are usually not covered by dental insurance.

• In-network vs. out-of-network: A dentist that is in-network agrees with the insurance provider to have certain services at a reduced rate to you. An out-of-network dentist does not need to oblige to this meaning you will end up paying out of pocket.
• Deductible: This is the dollar amount that you pay before the benefits are put into effect. 
• Annual maximum: This is the amount that your dental insurance is obligated to pay for your eligible dental services. 
• Copayment: The amount you are expected to pay for a service. 
• Alternate benefit: The coverage for the least expensive and acceptable alternative treatment when there are other treatments at a higher cost.
