Understanding Your Coverage & Payment Options
Understanding your coverage and payment options
At Prestige Dental Specialists, we believe financial clarity is an essential part of exceptional care. Our experienced coordinators at our Annandale practice take the time to help you understand your coverage, offering an up-to-date breakdown of your insurance benefits and guiding you through every detail before treatment begins. Our coordinators are here to answer your questions at every step, at no additional cost to you.
Your insurance, handled by our coordinators
We’re in-network with major PPO plans
And our team files all insurance claims on your behalf. You don’t chase your insurer, submit forms, or wait on hold. We take care of the paperwork so you don’t have to.
What your plan covers and when
There are important points to understand before treatment begins. First, most insurance plans include a patient portion, so a share of treatment is typically your responsibility. Second, your insurance company does not finalize payment until treatment is complete and the claim has been processed. The estimate we provide in advance is based on the information your insurance company shares with us beforehand. For that reason, it remains an estimate, and our coordinators will walk you through it in detail so there are no surprises along the way.
Ways to pay for treatment
Convenient dental financing at our Annandale office
We accept CareCredit, which spreads the cost of treatment across monthly payments instead of requesting the full amount on the day of your appointment. Ask our treatment coordinators for the application before your consultation so the answer is already in hand when you sit down to plan treatment.
Payment plans through our office
We offer payment plans directly through the practice. Mention it at your consultation, and we’ll lay out what is available for the treatment you need, alongside the insurance estimate, so you can compare both in one conversation.
If you don’t have dental insurance
Uninsured patients are offered discounted rates here. There is no membership to buy and no annual fee to unlock them. Tell us you are paying out of pocket and the discount is applied to your estimate.
Everyday payment methods
We accept checks and all major credit cards. You can also pay your bill online through Flex, the same system you use to book appointments and message the office.
The Curious Corner
Do you take my dental insurance?
We are in-network with major PPO providers and file claims on your behalf. Call (703) 462-9092 with your card in hand, and we’ll check your specific plan before you book.
Will I know what I owe before treatment starts?
Yes. Our coordinators review your coverage and give you an estimate of your out-of-pocket cost, based on what your insurance provider tells us, before any treatment begins.
What if I don’t have dental insurance?
You are offered a discounted rate. Uninsured patients are eligible for reduced pricing at our Annandale practice, and pairing that discount with a payment plan is a common way patients handle larger treatment.
Do you offer payment plans or dental financing at your Annandale office?
Yes, both. We accept third-party financing through outside lenders for monthly payments, and we offer payment plans directly through our office. Ask at your consultation which of the two fits your treatment and timeline better.
My dentist referred me here. Does that change my benefits?
No. A referral from your general dentist does not change your coverage, your annual maximum, or what your plan pays. It simply means the treatment is being handled by a specialist, and we coordinate the paperwork with your dentist’s office so both sides of your care are billed cleanly.
