United Healthcare Dental Insurance Coverage Availability & Fees
Your coverage availability and fees will ultimately depend on which plan you’re enrolled in. Two patients with a United Healthcare PPO policy can have very different terms. A higher monthly premium, for example, usually comes with a more favorable deductible (the amount of money to be paid out of pocket before coverage for certain treatments will “kick in”) and coinsurance (the percentage of costs United Healthcare will be responsible for after you meet your deductible). This is why we recommend reviewing the details of your plan or confirming your coverage with us ahead of time.
That said, many United Healthcare PPO plans break down coverage like this:
- Preventive services, like biannual checkups and cleanings, are 100% covered, regardless of your progress towards your deductible.
- Minor restorative services, such as fillings, are covered by 80%.
- Major restorative services, which may include dentures, are covered around 50%.
The key takeaway here is that you’ll likely save the most money by scheduling twice-yearly checkups and cleanings to help prevent the need for more costly treatment in the first place.
