Two cards can have the same insurance company name and belong to different networks. Your plan's member website or member-services team can check the details of your own coverage. The list below and the question we've written out should make that a little easier.
Current participating plans
- Aetna Dental PPO
- Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield (Dental PPO Plus)
- Blue Cross Blue Shield FEP Dental (FEDVIP)
- Delta Dental Premier
- Guardian DentalGuard Preferred (PPO)
What to ask your insurance company:
“Is Audrey Maiurano, DDS, at 7841 Rolling Road, Suite C, Springfield, Virginia 22153 in network for my exact dental plan and network?” The provider may also appear under the legal practice name Audrey Maiurano, DDS, PC.
If you have Blue Cross Blue Shield coverage through a federal health plan, its dental benefits are separate from BCBS FEP Dental through FEDVIP. If you have both, bring both cards so we can help sort out which benefits apply.
Verify the plan before your visit
- Sign in to your insurer's member website and open the dentist directory for your dental plan.
- Look up Audrey Maiurano, DDS, and check that the address is 7841 Rolling Road, Suite C, Springfield, VA 22153.
- If the listing is confusing or you can't find it, call the member-services number on your card. The question above gives the representative the details they need. Ask them to confirm your network and when your coverage takes effect.
- Keep the answer, the representative's name, and any reference number. That helps if we need to compare information later.
If you get an answer that doesn't match our list, call (703) 455-5555 and let us know. We'll review the information with you and help identify what needs to be clarified with your insurer.
A network listing or phone confirmation is helpful, but it isn't a guarantee of payment for a particular treatment. Your insurer makes that decision under your plan's terms.
After Dr. Maiurano recommends care
Once Dr. Maiurano has examined you and recommended care, we can discuss how your benefits may apply. Details such as a deductible, annual maximum, or a limit on how often a service is covered can affect the answer. Some plans also have waiting periods, exclusions, alternate benefits, or preauthorization requirements.
We'll go through the insurance information we have with you before planned treatment. If something is unclear, ask us to walk through it again. Your insurer determines what it pays after processing the claim.
If the plan is not on our list
You're welcome to call. Some plans offer out-of-network benefits that can be used here. Your insurer can explain those benefits and its allowed amount, and we can talk you through how the office handles claims. Then you can decide whether the arrangement works for you.
No dental insurance
You can be our patient without dental insurance. Start with a visit so Dr. Maiurano can find out what needs attention. We'll discuss the recommended care with you afterward. Our Good Faith Estimate page explains the rights that may apply when you aren't using insurance.
