Delta Dental FAQ

Absolutely! We would love to continue to take care of your dental needs. Whatever benefits you have from Delta Dental, you can use them in our practice.

Yes. Their “out-of-network” fees will apply and the difference between their “out-of-network” fee and our procedure fee will be patient responsibility.

For the past several years (almost 10 years in some cases) they have failed to raise their contracted fee rates with us.  In January of 2023, Delta Dental actually reduced some of our contracted rates on some of the commonly performed procedures that we do. They are becoming increasingly difficult to work with as an insurance company.  This makes it impossible to provide the quality of care that you should expect and deserve from Drs. Tyler and Yun with inflation and increasing prices of dental supplies.

We will collect the fee of service provided up front (instead of you paying the copay) unless prior financial arrangements have been made.  We will send a claim to Delta as a courtesy, and they will send you a refund check directly for how much is covered. If you want to make sure Delta covers a procedure, we can send a “Pre-authorization” before starting treatment so you will know how much refund Delta will provide to you.

Yes.  We will continue to bill your insurance as a courtesy for you.

No, as a courtesy, we will continue to submit the claim for you, xrays and documentation so that you can maximize your dental benefits.
