Good dental health may be more important than you think. Studies have identified a link between oral health and chronic conditions such as heart disease. The best way to lower your risk is by keeping up on your preventive exams.
Your diagnostic and preventive services are covered at 100% when visiting a dentist in the Anthem Dental Complete network. That means teeth cleanings, periodic oral exam and bitewing X-rays are free when using an in-network provider. Other in-network services such as fillings, crowns and root canals are covered at 80%.
You can realize the greatest savings by going to an in-network dentist. While network dentists sign a contract with anthem to limit fees, nonparticipating dentists do not have limits on the amount they can charge you for services. If you decide to go to a nonparticipating dentist, be sure you understand your potential out-of-pocket costs before you receive services.
A list of dentists within the Dental Complete network can be found by going to www.Anthem.com and logging in to your account. Once there, click on the “Find Care & Cost” link on the right side of the page. Add your address or zip code and search for “dentist.” Scroll down and filter for “Plan Network” on the left side. Select “Dental Network”. To search without logging into your account, see the Anthem How to Find Care - Dental Complete Flyer.
