Insurance and payment.
Common questions about plans, bills and payment.
How do I know what my plan will cover?
Send your plan details when you book. We check your benefits before the visit and call or text you with what to expect.
What does in network mean for me?
It means we've agreed to your plan's fee schedule, so you pay the plan's negotiated price and your share is usually lower.
Do you accept NC Medicaid?
Not at this time. If you have Medicaid dental coverage, NC Medicaid's provider search can point you to a nearby dentist who accepts it.
Can I use my HSA or FSA card?
Yes. Health savings and flexible spending cards work for any treatment, including the membership plan.
