Commonly Asked Questions

 

 

 

Co-Payment:

Patient's actual co-payment can vary depending on the services received.  Once the patient has enrolled for Kaiser Dental Plan, patient should receive a packet containing the discounted Kaiser fee schedule. There are services that are included as part of $30 visit co-payment and there are services that are offered at Kaiser's discounted fee.

 

X-rays:

Not all x-rays are covered as a free service of 30 Preventive Plan. If patient is visiting for the first time, then dentist may request for a full mouth x-rays.  The cost of full mouth x-rays will be discounted from 25% to 50% for Kaiser patients.

 

Teeth Cleaning:

If patient has been getting routine teeth cleaning every 6 months and does not have a gum infection, then patient may qualify for a free cleaning that is included in $30 co-payment.  If patient shows a sign of gum disease or has a presence of hard buildup (calculus/ tartar), then patient will not qualify for a routine cleaning. Dentist will recommend and perform more through cleaning (periodontal debridement or deep scaling).

 

Dual Insurance Coverage:

Since Kaiser 30 Preventive Plan is a discount program, it may not be used in conjunction with other discounts or dental insurance. Patient will probably save more money using PPO insurance rather than using Kaiser 30 Preventive Plan.
