Insurance

As a service to our patients, our practice accepts most dental insurance programs, including non-managed care, indemnity (traditional) and PPO out-of-network. We are not part of any managed care network. Our accounting staff will prepare all the necessary forms for your dental benefits. However, we remind you that your specific policy is an agreement between you and your insurance company. Please keep in mind that you are responsible for your total obligation should your insurance benefits result in less coverage than anticipated. Our staff will gladly submit a pre-treatment estimate to your insurance company so that you will know what your benefits will be.

The fees charged for services rendered to those who are insured are the usual and customary fees charged to all our patients for similar services. Your policy may base its allowances on a fixed fee schedule, which may or may not coincide with our usual fees. You should be aware that different insurance companies vary greatly in the types of coverage available. Also, some companies take care of claims promptly while others delay payment for several months.

Payment Options We Accept

This should retain the current page’s useful explanation that the office accepts cash, checks, money orders, major credit cards, and may make financial arrangements for extensive care.


Dental Insurance Accepted

Castor Dental Care accepts many dental insurance plans, including traditional indemnity plans and PPO out-of-network benefits. Our team can help prepare necessary forms for your dental benefits and submit claims.

Because every insurance policy is different, patients are responsible for any amount not covered by insurance. Our team can also submit a pre-treatment estimate when needed so you can better understand expected benefits before treatment begins.

The current page includes many insurance names and notes that insurance coverage can vary by policy and company. This should remain, but the list should be reviewed and updated before publishing to avoid inaccurate plan claims.


Why Verify Insurance Before Treatment?

Insurance can be confusing because different plans cover different services. Some plans cover preventive care, while other procedures may have deductibles, waiting periods, annual maximums, or exclusions.

Before starting treatment, our team can help you understand:

  • Whether your plan may apply
  • Estimated patient responsibility
  • Whether a pre-treatment estimate is recommended
  • Whether benefits differ for preventive, restorative, or cosmetic services
  • Whether financing or payment arrangements may be needed
