AFAS provides Dental Care Assistance for Airmen, Guardians, and their families. Financial assistance may be provided when an Airman or Guardian does not have sufficient funds to cover dependent dental care payments required in advance, or a patient’s share of charges not covered by insurance. • Assistance is considered for emergency or essential care, but not for purely cosmetic care. • AFAS can help with required orthodontics care. Assistance is normally given for the down payment and the member can work out a payment plan with the dentist. • Dental assistance is not normally authorized for dependents of members who dis-enroll from the government provided insurance program. If you or someone you know needs assistance, please contact us or submit an application online at https://bit.ly/3XZFBzM.

Claims Coding to Payment Posting + MORE | We get paid when YOU get paid | Medical & Dental Practice Management | We help your practice live up to its full potential
Myth #2: Medical Claims Can’t Be Processed for Dentists THIS MYTH IS BUSTED! Contrary to the belief that medical insurance only applies to specific dental procedures, any medically necessary dental treatment can be billed. This not only eases patient costs but also preserves dental insurance for uncovered procedures. Practices must prove medical necessity as that is the key to billing dental procedures to medical insurance.

Will Medicare help pay for dental implants? Medicare Advantage plans with supplemental dental inclusion that incorporates dental inserts will be generally helpful. You might need to pay an extra charge, and there will constantly be a most extreme dental advantage sum permitted, alongside either a copay or coinsurance. Few Medicare Advantage plans cover dental inserts, and some explicitly prohibit dental inserts, regardless of whether they offer other dental benefits. Some of these plans provide artificial posts or crowns, but not the surgical placement of the metal post required for an implant. If you need dental implants, most likely, youll incur some amount of out-of-pocket expense. Amerigroup Financial, LLC / Bridlewood Insurance in Sioux Falls, SD, specializes in Medicare insurance solutions.

Ethics | Equity Diversity Inclusion and Belonging | Resilience | Dentist | Dental Educator | Communicator | Speaker | HBCU Advocate | Faith Talker
With all that I am, I will forever voice that ethical and professional duty requires that we think more of the public and society we serve [and the systemic injustices], than simply ourselves... This piece by Ken Alltucker centers the continued US dental crisis... https://lnkd.in/d-tTKdZk "... Smith recently told USA TODAY this foundational question remains essential. Too many patients are shut out of the system because of a lack of dental insurance. And patients with limited benefits through Medicaid, won't necessarily get the care they need, since many dentists don't accept those plans. "One of the hallmarks of our profession is autonomy," Smith said. However, he thinks self-evaluation and self-analysis are essential for practitioners: "I believe it is incumbent upon the profession to ask of ourselves, how can we be better?"" #equitydiversityinclusion #inclusiveleadership #healthcareethics #healthjustice #healthequity #academicmedicine #dentaleducation
