We regularly get calls from dental practices about whether we’ve made changes to our fee schedule. To help address your questions about our fee schedules, here’s some information about our review and communication process.
Premera periodically reviews our dental fee schedules for Washington and Alaska. We look at several factors to determine if any changes are necessary to ensure:
- We pay fair rates to providers that reflect the market for dental services while controlling healthcare costs.
- Our insurance plans are high-quality and deliver value for our customers.
If we determine that a fee schedule update is appropriate, we’ll send you a notification by mail 90 days before the effective date of the change. If you don’t receive a notification from us, our dental fee schedule hasn’t changed.
