Dental insurance

Dental insurance, explained plainly

The name on your insurance card is a starting point. Your insurer can confirm the exact network and benefits that apply to your visit.

Current participating plans

  • Aetna Dental PPO (commercial plans)
  • Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield (Dental PPO Plus)
  • Blue Cross Blue Shield FEP Dental (FEDVIP)
  • Delta Dental Premier
  • Guardian DentalGuard Preferred (PPO)

Aetna: Our participation is with commercial Dental PPO plans, not Aetna Medicare Advantage. For an Aetna Medicare plan, ask your insurer to confirm any out-of-network dental benefits before your visit.

Federal Blue Cross Blue Shield plans: Dental benefits under a federal health plan are separate from BCBS FEP Dental through FEDVIP. If you have both, ask your insurers how the benefits work together and bring both cards.

Check with your insurer before your visit

Use your plan's member website or call the member-services number on your card. Two plans from the same insurance company can use different networks.

Start with this question:
“Is Audrey Maiurano, DDS, at 7841 Rolling Road, Suite C, Springfield, Virginia 22153 in network for my exact dental plan?” The provider may also be listed as Audrey Maiurano, DDS, PC.

  • Confirm when your coverage takes effect and which dental network applies.
  • If the directory and the information here differ, ask your insurer to review the specific plan and provider record.
  • Keep the answer and any reference number for your records.

Understand your treatment benefits

After Dr. Maiurano recommends care, ask your insurer how your plan covers that treatment. Deductibles, annual limits, waiting periods, and limits on how often a service is covered can affect what it pays. Ask whether prior authorization is needed.

Being in network does not mean every treatment is covered in full. Your insurer determines payment under your plan's terms after processing the claim.

If your plan is not listed

Some plans offer out-of-network dental benefits. Ask your insurer whether those benefits apply at this office, how payment is calculated, and what costs remain your responsibility before receiving care.

Without dental insurance

You're welcome here with or without dental insurance. Dr. Maiurano will explain the care she recommends so you can consider your options. Our Good Faith Estimate page explains the rights that may apply when you aren't using insurance.
