We Accept Most Major Dental Insurance Plans
TriState Family Dental Centers accepts most major dental insurance plans and will gladly file eligible claims on your behalf.
Our team will make every effort to obtain a summary of your benefits and estimate the portion your insurance plan may cover. Patients are generally asked to pay their estimated responsibility at the time of service.
Important Note:
Insurance estimates are not guarantees of payment. Coverage is determined by your insurance provider, and patients remain responsible for any balance not paid by their plan.

payment responsibility
IMPORTANT PAYMENT INFORMATION
Your Insurance Is an Agreement Between You and Your Provider
TriState is happy to assist with benefit estimates and claim filing. However, insurance companies make the final decision regarding coverage and payment.
Patients are responsible for deductibles, copayments, non-covered services, and any remaining balance after insurance processes the claim.
