Asking for a pre-determination is a simple and essential step when planning major dental work. At our New Westminster clinic, we take the stress out of this process by handling all the paperwork and submission for you.
To get started, follow these steps:
- Schedule a Comprehensive Exam: The process begins with an appointment at our clinic. During this visit, we will review your dental history, take digital X-rays, and evaluate your oral health.
- Review Your Treatment Plan: Once your exam is complete, we will sit down with you in a judgement free space to discuss your personalized treatment plan. This is the perfect time to ask questions about procedures like crowns, root canal therapy, or dental implants.
- Request the Submission: Simply let our front-desk team know you would like to submit a pre-determination to Pacific Blue Cross. We care about your smile and want you to feel financially confident before starting treatment.
- Let Us Handle the Rest: We will compile and submit the necessary procedure codes, diagnostic X-rays, and clinical notes directly to Pacific Blue Cross on your behalf.
Once the response arrives, we will review the line-item estimate with you to explain what your benefits cover. We’ve upgraded! While we are in the same location, we have a new look and modern technology designed to make your insurance and treatment journey as smooth as possible. Book Appointment today to begin the process.
