Learn More About the Benefits of Aetna

Do you have a dental insurance plan through Aetna? Whether it is a benefit from your employer or something you purchased on your own, you can regard it as a valuable asset. Not only can it open the door to low-cost preventive care, but it may also reduce the expense associated with more extensive restorative treatments. How can you get the greatest possible value out of your benefits? As an in-network Aetna dentist in Fountain Valley, our team at Elite Dental is ready and eager to assist you.

Aetna Coverage Availability & Fees

Aetna is a large insurance company that offers a range of plans that are tailored to different types of patients. We encourage you to set aside some time to familiarize yourself with the details of your unique policy.

In the meantime, here are some notes on the PPO coverage that is often available from Aetna:

  • Preventive services, such as cleanings, exams, and routine X-rays, may be up to 100% covered.
  • Minor services, often including fillings, are frequently 80% covered.
  • Major treatments, which may apply to treatments like dentures, crowns, and bridges, are often around 50% covered.

Your plan may also include a waiting period before you can use certain benefits, a deductible that you must pay out of pocket before your insurance takes effect, and an annual maximum limit on the amount of money that Aetna will pay for approved services.

The Benefits of Seeing an In-Network Dentist

If you have a PPO plan, you can visit virtually any dental practice in the U.S. Therefore, you might wonder why it is advantageous to visit an in-network provider like Elite Dental. There are a few reasons:

  • Our contract with Aetna controls fees, which means you are likely to pay less out of pocket than you would at an out-of-network practice.
  • Coverage rates are sometimes higher at in-network practices.
  • We are used to dealing with Aetna, and we are well-equipped to help you navigate every aspect of the claims process, including preauthorization, filing claims, and following up to make sure you get the benefits you are entitled to.
