Consulate Dental Plans, Understanding ADA Codes for Dental Services.
Shopping for dental insurance can become confusing for some people. Is the dental services you want to have covered under the plan? If so by how much? How can you make sure that you are buying a dental plan that covers the dental service you may need?
One way is by knowing the ADA codes for the dental services needed. ADA codes are codes use by the dentist and the dental insurance company so that the insurance company knows what dental services is being provided. So when shopping for dental insurance it is a good idea to ask your dentist for the ADA codes on the dental services they are suggesting you have done.
It is possible that not all the ADA codes are listed on the company fee schedule so if you do not see the code needed, call the company and confirm if it is a covered benefit prior to buying the plan.
