Whether it's time for your preventive appointment or you need dental work, you won't have to worry about a large bill when choosing your Humana dentist in San Antonio, Dr. Hiren Patel. Your dental benefits will lower the amount you pay out-of-pocket for the services you need for healthy teeth and gums. We will help you invest in optimal oral health for minimal expenses.
Humana Coverage Availability & Fees
Humana is a nationwide provider of comprehensive dental plans for individuals and families. Their policies are designed to reduce overall oral health expenses through the power of preventive dentistry. However, they also offer coverage for basic and major dental services. Although every situation differs, your dental insurance in San Antonio may include:
- 100% of Preventive Dentistry
- 80% of Basic Dental Work
- 50% of Major Dental Services
Your premiums give you access to several dental benefits. You can visit your dentist every 6 months for a cleaning and checkup for a co-pay. By doing so, you'll keep common dental issues at bay to avoid needing costly procedures later. Researchers have found that $1 of preventive care can save up to $50 on emergency and restorative fees.
If your dentist finds anything concerning, don't fret. After meeting your annual deductible, your insurance can pay 50% to 80% of the expenses for medically necessary procedures until reaching your yearly limit. At the end of the year, your dental insurance expires. Nothing accumulates, and you won't be reimbursed for your premiums or deductibles, even if you never see a dentist.
With less than 3% of Americans meeting or exceeding their yearly limits, we don't want to see you throw money away. Humana recommends choosing an in-network dentist because they have pre-negotiated rates with preferred dental practices. However, you can still use your coverage at an out-of-network dentist. You'll enjoy more freedom to choose the dentist and services you desire, but you may pay more out-of-pocket.
