What Sarasota Patients Are Saying
Dental Services Often Covered by Humana
Most Humana dental plans cover preventive care and many restorative treatments. Some plans may also provide partial coverage for certain cosmetic procedures. During your first visit, our team will review your Humana benefits so you know what your plan covers.
Dental Exam
Comprehensive dental exams are commonly covered by Humana dental plans and help our team identify concerns early while protecting your long-term oral health.
Dental Cleaning
Most Humana dental plans include routine cleanings to help remove plaque buildup and reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays are often included as part of preventive dental care at our sarasota dentist office and allow us to detect issues that may not be visible during an oral exam.
Composite Fillings
Many Humana dental plans provide coverage for tooth-colored fillings used to repair cavities and restore the strength and function of a tooth.
Extractions
When a tooth cannot be saved, many Humana dental plans provide coverage for extractions to relieve discomfort and prevent further problems.
Crowns & Bridges
Many Humana dental plans include partial benefits for crowns and bridges, which help restore the function and appearance of damaged or missing teeth.
Dental Implants
While coverage varies by Humana plan, some policies may include partial benefits for dental implants. Implants are designed to replace missing teeth and restore strength, stability, and function.
Invisalign® Clear Aligners
Humana dental plans with orthodontic benefits may offer partial coverage for Invisalign treatment for qualifying patients.
How Insurance Works At Our Practice
We make it easy to use your Humana dental benefits with clear communication and upfront cost estimates. Here’s how it works:
- Insurance verification: Give us a call to verify your Humana coverage and ask any questions.
- Comprehensive exam: Meet with Dr. Bowles or Dr. Karow for a thorough evaluation and discussion of your dental needs and goals.
- Treatment plan: After your exam, we’ll provide a clear treatment plan with estimated insurance coverage and out-of-pocket costs.
- Claim submission and processing: Our team submits all claims and required documentation. Once your insurance processes the claim, we’ll let you know if there’s any remaining balance.
Humana Insurance FAQs
Do you accept Humana dental insurance?
Yes. SRQ Smiles accepts many Humana dental insurance plans. Our team can verify your benefits and help you understand your coverage before your appointment.
Will you help verify my Humana dental benefits?
Yes. Before your appointment, our team can verify your Humana benefits and help you understand what your plan may cover.
Do you accept the Humana Bright Plus dental plan?
Humana Bright Plus is a dental insurance plan that typically includes coverage for preventive services such as exams and cleanings. The plan may also include benefits like a yearly allowance for in-office teeth whitening and coverage for certain basic dental treatments. Because coverage can vary by plan and location, our team can review your Humana Bright Plus benefits during your first visit to help you understand what may be covered.
What is the Humana Dental Savings Plus plan?
Humana Dental Savings Plus is a dental discount program rather than traditional insurance. Members typically pay a monthly fee and receive reduced rates on many dental services from participating providers. If you have a Dental Savings Plus plan, you can contact SRQ Smiles to see how the plan may apply to the treatment you’re considering.
What if my Humana plan does not cover a procedure?
If a treatment is not covered or is only partially covered by your Humana dental plan, our team will discuss alternative options and financing solutions to help make your treatment more affordable.
Thank you Dr. Karow for Brian’s new teeth! He is so pleased and is not ashamed to smile anymore! The whole process went smoothly and pain free. The assistants and office crew are so very kind and caring, we are always treated like family.
