We simplify your reimbursement process
Dental insurance can sometimes seem complicated. At Centre dentaire Vadeboncoeur in Gatineau, we do our part to make the process simpler.
You pay for your care directly at the clinic at the time of your appointment.
When your insurance company permits it, however, our team can submit your claim electronically on your behalf, so that you can receive your reimbursement directly from your insurer.
That means fewer forms to fill out and fewer steps to take after your visit.
How does a dental insurance claim work?
At your visit, make sure we have up-to-date information about your dental insurance plan.
After your care, our team can submit the necessary information to your insurance company so that your claim can be processed.
Depending on your insurer and your plan, the response regarding benefits may come quickly or may require additional processing time.
Remember to bring your insurance information to your first visit.
If your coverage changes, please also let us know so that your file stays up to date.
What your dental insurance reimburses
Every insurance plan is different.
The percentage reimbursed, the eligible treatments, the annual maximums, the deductibles and the other conditions are determined by your insurance plan, not by the dental clinic.
There may therefore be a difference between the fees associated with your care and the amount reimbursed by your insurer.
Our priority remains to recommend the care appropriate to your oral health. When treatment is needed, we explain the proposed care and the related costs so that you can make an informed decision.
Is more extensive treatment planned?
For certain treatments, an estimate or predetermination can be submitted to your insurance company before care begins. This step can give you more information about the amount your plan expects to reimburse before you go ahead with treatment.
It is important to understand, however, that an estimate from the insurer does not change the diagnosis or the treatment recommended by your dentist.
Your dental health guides our recommendations. Your insurance plan determines your coverage.
Do you have two insurance plans?
Some people are covered by more than one plan, for example by their own insurance and that of their spouse.
In certain situations, coordination of benefits can make it possible to submit the costs to both plans, according to the rules set by the insurers.
Let our team know about all of your coverage so that we have the information we need in your file.
