Did You Know We Can Bill Your Medical Insurance for Dental Care?
Most dental offices only bill dental insurance. Here's the surprising truth about how much dental-related care can actually go through your medical plan.
Book BookA difference most offices can't offer
Here's something that surprises almost everyone: a lot of dental care can be covered by your medical insurance — not just your dental plan. Most dental offices never bill medical at all. We do, whenever your care qualifies — and it can open up coverage you didn't know you had.
Why most offices don't do this
Billing medical for dental care takes extra know-how and paperwork most practices aren't set up for, so they default to dental-only — and you never even hear about the option. We built that capability in-house because it genuinely helps our patients afford the care they need.
What can often be billed to medical
When it's medically necessary, many treatments may qualify for medical coverage, including:
Every plan and situation is different, so we verify what applies to you specifically.
What still goes through dental
To be clear, we're not promising medical covers everything — routine cleanings, exams, fillings, and most everyday dental work stay on the dental side. But when a procedure does qualify for medical, we catch it and bill it the right way.
How it works
It's simple on your end: we review your care, determine whether any part of it can be billed to medical, verify your benefits before you commit, and handle the claim and paperwork for you. You don't have to figure any of it out — and because we check both medical and dental, no coverage you're entitled to slips through the cracks.
Common questions
Yes — when treatment is medically necessary, it can often be billed to your medical plan rather than, or in addition to, your dental plan. Most dental offices simply don't offer this.
Common examples include oral appliances for sleep apnea, certain oral surgery and surgical extractions, treatment after an accident, care tied to an infection or medical condition, biopsies, and imaging or exams connected to a medical diagnosis. We confirm what applies in your case.
Yes. Sleep apnea is a medical condition, so an oral appliance is typically billed to your medical insurance — usually after a medical diagnosis from your physician.
Coverage depends on your specific plan, deductible, and situation, so we never promise a number up front. We verify your benefits in writing before you commit.
For some treatments — sleep apnea being the clearest example — yes, a diagnosis from your physician is the starting point. We'll tell you exactly what's needed.
