Delta Dental Insurance

Dear valued patient,

After careful review, we have made the decision to end our preferred provider status with Delta Dental insurance company, effective immediately. We will continue to accept your insurance; however we will do so as an out-of-network provider.

Unfortunately, Delta Dental is making it harder on providers financially to stay in-network. At Toothbar, we have always maintained a high standard of care for our patients, and are unwilling to compromise or cut corners due to Delta Dental’s shortcomings.

What does this mean for you?

You most definitely can continue to receive your dental care at Toothbar. We strongly recommend that you read your specific insurance contract to determine if your benefits will change by going to an out-of-network provider. Please feel free to call our office any time so that we can help you review and understand your specific plan.

The changes to your appointment will be as follows:

• You will be expected to pay all balances at the time of service.
• We will still handle the submission of your claim to your dental insurance company as well as submit any items required by the insurance company such as x-rays, clinical notes and all diagnostic billing codes.
• Once your dental insurance processes your claim, they will send you a reimbursement payment that aligns with your estimate of benefits and insurance coverage.

From the patients that we have spoken with about the change in our Delta Dental status, we have found that most of them are choosing to pay a slightly higher co-pay in order to continue to receive the Toothbar-standard quality of care. We would appreciate the opportunity to review your plan with you and ensure that you fully understand how this change may or may not impact you.

We are also available to discuss your specific treatment plan, especially if you are still in the middle of completing your outstanding treatment(s). We appreciate your loyalty; please call our office at (512) 949-8202 if you have any questions about your benefits.

Sincerely,
The Toothbar Family
