Do you have UnitedHealthcare dental insurance? Your policy is a precious resource.

But how can you get the greatest value out of your policy? As a dentist in network with UnitedHealthcare dental insurance, the team at RiverPlace Dental is here to assist you. On this page, you’ll learn more about your coverage and how we can help you maximize it.

UnitedHealthcare Coverage Availability & Fees

UnitedHealthcare offers a choice of four different dental plans to families and individuals in Oregon. They are all PPO plans, which means that they allow you to visit any dentist. However, visiting an in-network dentist will ensure that you pay as little out of pocket as possible.

Also, since our team is familiar with UnitedHealthcare, we are in the best position possible to help you make strategic decisions about how to use your coverage. For example, your plan comes with an annual maximum (the highest amount that the insurance company will pay out for approved services in a calendar year). We might be able to schedule major treatments in a way that allows you to use two annual maximums rather than just one.

Here are a few more notes about how your plan might work:

Preventive care is covered at 100%. Beginning the first day you have your policy, you may enjoy paying nothing out of pocket cost for cleanings and exams.
Basic care (such as simple extractions and fillings) is at least 35% covered. For the first few years after you have your policy, your coverage rate for basic services will increase. After your second policy year, they will be covered at 80%.
Major care (such as crowns) is at least 10% covered. Depending on your policy, coverage for major services could increase to 60% after a couple of years. Note that you may have a waiting period before you receive any coverage for major services.
