Frequently asked questions
How do I know which dentists accept my insurance?
Always confirm with both the practice and your insurer. Call the practice with your specific plan name and group number, then verify the practice and provider by name and NPI with member services.
What's the difference between in-network and out-of-network?
In-network dentists have a contract with your insurer and accept negotiated rates. Out-of-network dentists may still accept your insurance but typically cost more out of pocket.
Does NPPES show accepted insurance?
No. NPPES only contains the dentist's identity, specialty, and practice address. Insurance acceptance is self-reported by the practice and changes frequently.
