Zelis Dental Network

We participate with the Zelis dental network, which administers benefits for a wide range of self-funded employer plans. If your insurance card lists Zelis as the network, we can process your claim directly.

We accept United Concordia plans, including the TRICARE Dental Program (TDP) for active-duty military families and the FEDVIP Dental program for federal employees.

Humana Dental

Humana Dental PPO and Humana Dental Preventive Plus policies are accepted. Many Humana plans include orthodontic benefits for both children and adults, which we’re happy to help you use.

Dominion National Dental

Dominion National is widely used across Maryland, Virginia, and DC. We’re in-network with most Dominion PPO plans and process claims directly on your behalf.

Delta Dental

We accept Delta Dental PPO plans for patients in Rockville and the surrounding area. Delta Dental is one of the most widely held dental insurance plans in the country, with strong preventive and diagnostic coverage on most policies.

In-Network vs. Out-of-Network

If you have a PPO insurance plan that we are in-network with, you’ll typically pay lower out-of-pocket costs at our office. We’ve negotiated reduced fees with these insurance providers as part of being in-network.

If your insurance provider is not in-network with our practice, your out-of-pocket cost will be slightly higher, but your insurance can still reimburse you for a portion of your treatment cost. We’ll happily file your claim for you.

We Verify Your Benefits

Before your first appointment, our team contacts your insurance provider to verify your active coverage, deductible, annual maximum, and the percentage covered for the treatment you need.

This means there are no surprises at checkout. You’ll know your estimated out-of-pocket cost before any treatment begins.

Insurance FAQ

Answers to the most common questions our Rockville patients ask about dental insurance.

My insurance isn’t on your list. Can I still come to your office?

Yes. The plans listed above are the most common ones, but we work with many other insurance providers as well. Even if we’re not in-network with your specific plan, we can still file your claim and your insurance may reimburse you for a portion of your treatment. Call us at (301) 231-0173 and we’ll verify your coverage for free.

Do you accept Medicare for dental treatment?

Within the last 10 to 20 years, Medicare has stopped paying for routine dental treatments. However, Medicare does cover Oral Appliance Therapy for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, which we provide at our practice.

Do PPO plans require a referral?

No. PPO insurance plans do not require a referral before visiting the dentist. These plans begin covering your treatment plan only after you have paid your full deductible.

What if I don’t have dental insurance?

We welcome patients without insurance. If you pay in full, in advance, with cash or check, you can receive up to a 5% courtesy credit on your estimated out-of-pocket expense. We also partner with Alphaeon and CareCredit, which are third-party financing companies that offer low- and no-interest payment plans.

Will my medical insurance cover any dental treatment?

It can, depending on the treatment. Many medical insurance plans cover treatments for sleep apnea, snoring, TMD, facial pain, and headaches that traditional dental insurance won’t. At Rockville Family Dental, we’re able to bill both your medical and dental insurance providers when applicable.

How do I know what my insurance will cover before treatment?

Our team will verify your benefits before your appointment and provide you with a written treatment plan that includes your estimated insurance coverage and your estimated out-of-pocket cost. You’ll have the full picture before any work begins.

Can two patients with the same insurance company have different benefits?

Yes. Your insurance coverage is often determined by your employer, not just by the insurance company. Two patients with the same insurance provider but different employers may have very different benefits, deductibles, and annual maximums.
