What Does it Mean to be In-Network with a Dental Insurance?

Many patients get confused about what it means to have an In-Network or Out-of-Network provider. When you see a dentist Out-of-Network, your dental insurance is likely to cover some of the cost of covered services, but usually a lower percentage than if the dentist was In-Network. Also, when a dentist is In-Network, they have a contract with the insurance company that in which they agree to accept discounted fees. It can also make the claims process much smoother, with insurance companies often reimbursing more quickly and making it much easier to estimate out of pocket costs for the patient.
