There are several ways to search for providers that accept your insurance. If you have United Concordia, however, you don’t have to look any further. Here at Anchorage Pediatric Dentistry, we accept this form of insurance. Not only that, but we are also a preferred provider. That means that we have a contract with UCCI TRICARE that allows us to provide services to you at a discount. This allows more of our patients to afford the services they need.
Using the TRICARE provider database, you will find that Anchorage Pediatric Dentistry is on the list. Since United Concordia handles dental insurance for TRICARE families, you may actually have more coverage than most people. Because of this, you’ll be able to keep your children up-to-date on all of their dental care needs. From cleanings to emergency treatment, Anchorage Pediatric Dentistry can help your child begin their dental hygiene journey.
Insurance coverage can vary from policy to policy. However, TRICARE through Concordia has a fairly consistent standard of coverage depending on when your policy went into effect. The following information should only be used as a guideline. For specific information on your coverage, talk to your local agent.
One of the great things about TRICARE through Concordia is that they cover two exams, two cleanings, and two fluoride treatments per year. This is important, especially for children. With the fast rate of tooth growth, problems can arise quickly. Having a check-up and cleaning every six months can help us catch any issues early on, saving you time and money.
If problems do arise, Concordia has you covered. For children under the age of 18, sealants on permanent molars are covered. They will assist you in paying for other basic restorations as well. These include fillings and crowns of different materials. This flexibility provides us with the tools we need to treat you with the best materials for the situation.
Because most oral surgeries are covered by TRICARE through Concordia, you may receive help paying for sedation. We offer three options for a variety of needs. Conscious sedation can be used if your child is apprehensive or has special needs. Nitrous Oxide can also help your child relax during dental treatments. If a large amount of restoration is needed, I.V. sedation may be considered. Rest assured that your insurance can help you pay for the cost of making your child comfortable.
Here at Anchorage Pediatric Dentistry, we are a preferred provider for Concordia. There are a lot of factors that go into this label. The provider considers all aspects of our practice. That means that we are among the best choices for pediatric dentistry in the area. Here are a few reasons why:
We pride ourselves on the qualifications of our dentists. We want to provide the best care possible for your child, which means having a staff that is constantly learning. Through board certifications and memberships to esteemed organizations, our dentists have created a large network of information and professionals ready to serve you.
We can also do most services that your child will require in-house. Cleanings, x-rays, restorations, sedation, and a variety of surgeries can be done in our office. This can save you time and money, since you won’t have to go out of your way for certain treatments.
In addition, we can help you resolve common childhood habits that result in unnecessary wear and tear on the teeth. If your child is still sucking their thumb after their first permanent teeth come in, we can offer you tips to help your child quit. If your child excessively grinds their teeth, we may even suggest using a night guard to keep that habit from interfering with jaw growth.
Overall, we are a preferred provider because we strive to provide the best and most versatile pediatric dental care possible.
No child should have to go without the healthcare they need. That is why we strive to offer payment options that fit all of our patients’ needs. Since insurance doesn’t cover everything, Anchorage Pediatric Dentistry accepts other payment methods, too. If you’re still having difficulty paying for the care you need, consider applying for CareCredit. This is a patient financing account that can help you pay for medical expenses up front. Oftentimes, you can even get this credit account with little to no interest.
We also accept a variety of other health insurance providers. This means that you may be able to use a secondary insurance, if you have one, to cover your expenses. Denali KidCare, MetLife, Medicaid, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Delta Dental, and Premera are all providers that we accept. We are also preferred providers for each of those companies. In addition, we accept many other insurance plans. To find out if we accept yours, call us at (907)-562-1003 .
When it comes to copays, we have plenty of payment options. Of course, you can always pay with cash. We accept most major credit cards, as well. In addition, you can even pay with a check. Using your Health Savings Account or Flexible Spending Account are also options here at Anchorage Pediatric Dentistry.
