Contact our office in Astoria before your appointment to find out if your treatment will be covered.
Ameritas Coverage Availability & Fees
Your Ameritas dental insurance coverage availability will likely depend on your monthly premium. Higher fees are generally associated with more favorable terms, such as more extensive coverage, lower deductibles, or greater annual maximums. Like most dental insurance providers, though, Ameritas does cover 100% of the costs for two checkup and cleaning appointments per year, so you can count on free preventive care regardless of whether you’ve hit your deductible!
For other services, such as tooth replacements, restorative crowns, or tooth extraction, you can reasonably expect to receive somewhere between 50% and 80% coverage. “Major restorative treatments” are usually eligible for coverage amounts closer to 50%, while “minor restorative treatments” are more likely to qualify for 80%.
