A trip to the doctor or dentist often comes with uncertainty, especially when it comes to understanding what insurance will or won’t cover. Confusion over terms like in-network and out-of-network coverage can leave patients feeling frustrated when unexpected costs arise. At Silegy OMFS, we’ve worked with many patients to simplify this process, ensuring they feel informed and confident about their care. By clarifying your coverage upfront, we help you avoid surprises and focus on achieving your healthiest smile.
With over 25 years of experience, Dr. Silegy is a trusted provider in the Long Beach area. We’re here to provide exceptional care while guiding patients through the often-confusing world of insurance. As a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Silegy and our team prioritize patient comfort and personalized care. Our goal is not just to treat you but to ensure you feel confident and cared for throughout your journey — whether you’re covered in-network or out-of-network.
How Do In-Network and Out-of-Network Costs Affect Your Out-of-Pocket Expenses?
For many patients, understanding in-network and out-of-network costs can feel daunting. However, knowing how these affect your out-of-pocket expenses can make a significant difference in your financial planning and peace of mind. Additionally, visiting a provider outside your network will not necessarily count toward your in-network deductible. Unfortunately, the deductibles for out-of-network and in-network coverage are separate.
Once you hit your deductible, you qualify for much more coverage and benefits from your insurance company. This means you can receive some treatments at no out-of-pocket cost. You’ll likely meet your in-network deductible much faster. Once you meet your deductible, your insurance provider will help cover even more treatments and visits. At Silegy OMFS, we’re here to help you make sense of these differences, so your focus stays on your health rather than financial uncertainties.
What to Consider When Choosing Between In-Network and Out-of-Network Providers
While budget is a key consideration, we know it’s not the only factor when choosing the right dental provider. Your health, comfort, and care quality matter most.
We encourage you to think about what’s most important to you — whether it’s location, quality of care, availability of specialists, or financing options. At Silegy OMFS, we aim to meet your unique needs while delivering personalized and compassionate care.
