    This was our first visit with Sterling Ridge Dental. They lived up to their high rating. The…read morestaff was personable, pleasant and helpful. Our appointment schedule was timely and the team did a great job. Dr. Cope consulted a couple of times and then the team made any additional appointments internally and externally for us as part of finishing up the visit. We will see how the billing works but so far so good.

    Know your dental benefits and verify your treatment estimate yourself…read more I'm writing this because I hope our experience encourages other patients to become informed consumers of their own dental care. Treatment plans are estimates, but before agreeing to thousands of dollars in dental work, review the charges and independently verify anything that doesn't make sense with your insurance company. I'm very glad I did. My husband received a treatment plan at Sterling Ridge Dental involving multiple crowns. Our Delta Dental PPO covers crowns at 60% in-network, yet one crown was estimated at approximately 45%. When I questioned this with the office coordinator/manager, Theresa, I was told perhaps our benefits had decreased and was advised to contact Delta myself. I did. Delta confirmed our crown benefit was still 60%, consistent with estimates we had received from other in-network providers. Unfortunately, my conversations with Theresa became increasingly uncomfortable. I found her demeanor dismissive, passive-aggressive and at times hostile simply because I continued questioning discrepancies in the treatment estimate. At one point, she suggested another provider may have obtained a different result by coding a different tooth and said their office would not "unethically" code the wrong tooth to obtain coverage. That was never what I requested. I simply wanted to understand why their estimate didn't reflect the benefit Delta confirmed. I also questioned separate D0350 photographic image charges for the crowns. Theresa told me these photographs were needed as documentation/proof so the practice could get paid by insurance. I specifically verified this with Delta. The representative told me D0350 photographs are NOT required for crown reimbursement and that standard dental radiographs, including periapical (PA) x-rays, can be used when additional documentation is necessary. PA x-rays are covered under our plan. I understand an office can choose its own documentation practices. My concern was being charged separately for something presented as necessary for insurance reimbursement when Delta told me that specific photographic code was not required. This was especially confusing because during our consultation, the dental assistant took intraoral photographs and specifically told us they were for internal office use and were not something we would be charged for. When I continued questioning these issues, Theresa became more confrontational and told me, word-for-word, "We're not going to let any insurance company dictate how we run our business." She also told me I was "lucky that we accept your dental benefits." I wasn't asking insurance to dictate how they practice dentistry or asking anyone to improperly code anything. I was asking reasonable questions about our coverage and financial responsibility before committing to substantial dental work. Theresa ultimately proposed obtaining a formal predetermination from Delta. She also attempted a three-way call with Delta, but I was disconnected/hung up on and she never called me back. Within approximately the same week or the following week, I received the predetermination we had been waiting for, yet I still received no follow-up from Theresa. Ultimately, this wasn't about one relatively small fee. It was about transparency, professionalism and how legitimate patient questions were handled. We intended to establish long-term care here. My husband had substantial dental work to complete, I had scheduled my own new-patient appointment, and we potentially would have referred others. Instead, we canceled his treatment and future appointments, canceled my appointment and chose to seek care elsewhere. My advice: KNOW YOUR BENEFITS. Request an itemized treatment plan, review the charges and call your insurance company when something doesn't make sense. No patient should feel intimidated, pressured or "lucky" that their insurance is accepted simply because they ask questions. Being an informed patient is not being a difficult patient.
