BlueCross BlueShield Coverage Availability & Fees
The BlueCross BlueShield (BCBS) system consists of dozens of independently owned companies, each of which offers a unique set of dental insurance plans with specific fees, stipulations, and coverage levels. We encourage you to take a look at your policy to learn how it works.
In the meantime, here is a general overview of the coverage that is often available through BCBS PPO plans:
- Preventive care, like cleanings and checkups, may be up to 100% covered.
- Minor services, including fillings and other basic treatments, are often up to 80% covered.
- Major services, such as crowns and dentures, may be around 50% covered.
Your plan is also likely to include:
- An annual maximum, which is a yearly limit on the value of your benefits.
- A deductible, which is a certain amount that you must pay out-of-pocket before your insurance covers anything.
- A waiting period before you can use restorative benefits.
