Insurance & payment options
We take PPO insurance. See the dental plans we work with, how we check what yours covers, and the ways you can pay at Riverside West Dental Group.
We take PPO insurance
Riverside West Dental Group accepts PPO dental insurance plans. Bring us your card and we will tell you what your plan covers.
Dental benefits are set per plan, not per company. Two patients can hand us cards with the same logo and have different deductibles, different annual maximums and different coverage percentages. That is why we check your individual plan rather than going by the carrier's name alone.
Call the office with your carrier, member ID and group number and we will check your benefits before your visit, then explain what they mean in plain language.
Plans we work with
BlueCross BlueShield
What we need from you
In network means the practice has a contract with your plan that sets the fee for each procedure. Out of network means no such contract exists — your plan may still pay toward the visit, usually at a lower percentage, and the remainder is yours. Either way, we tell you the estimated out-of-pocket amount before treatment starts.
Your carrier
The carrier name shown on your dental card.
Member ID
Your member or subscriber ID, and the group number if your plan is through an employer.
Date of birth
The subscriber's date of birth, if that is not you.
Ways to pay
Cash
Check (with valid ID)
Debit Card
