A PEDIATRIC TEAM THAT SPEAKS BOTH KID AND INSURANCE

Finding a United Concordia dentist who is also great with kids shouldn't take a week of phone calls. Mighty Bites is a pediatric dentistry practice in Newtown Square, PA, and we are part of the United Concordia dental network.

HOW UNITED CONCORDIA DENTAL COVERAGE WORKS FOR YOUR CHILD'S VISITS

United Concordia sorts dental care into classes, and the class a service falls into decides how much your plan pays. Employers choose their own plan designs, so treat this as a general guide and not a promise of your exact numbers. Children's care usually breaks down like this:

Preventive Care:

Exams, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, and sealants usually fall under diagnostic and preventive care. Many United Concordia plans cover these at 100%, and our preventive care visits are built around them.

Infant Dentistry:

A baby’s first checkup is recommended by the first birthday or within six months of the first tooth. These infant dentistry visits usually fall under the same preventive benefit.

Basic Restorative Care:

Fillings and simple extractions typically count as basic services. Plans usually pay a percentage of United Concordia’s allowed amount, and that percentage varies. One plan may pay 80 percent while another pays 50 percent. If your child needs pediatric dental fillings and bondings, we explain your share first.

Dental Emergencies:

Some plans list emergency pain relief, called palliative treatment, alongside preventive services. When a dental emergency happens, call us right away. We sort out the coverage question while we get your child seen.

Annual maximums, deductibles, waiting periods, and the age at which a child stops qualifying as a dependent also vary by plan. Our Dental Insurance Coordinator checks each one before your visit.

WHAT HAPPENS BEHIND THE SCENES BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER YOUR VISIT

Our Dental Insurance Coordinator treats your child’s benefits like a checklist to finish before you ever walk in. At Mighty Bites, that means we:

Look up your benefits:

We confirm your child’s United Concordia dental benefits, including eligibility, deductible, annual maximum, and any waiting period, before a first visit or any return appointment, so your bill holds no surprises.

Price the visit up front:

You get a cost estimate before treatment starts. If our doctor recommends more than a routine visit, we explain what the work costs and what your plan is expected to pay before we begin.

File the claim for you:

After your visit, we send the claim to United Concordia ourselves. You do not mail forms or chase paperwork.

Track what is left on your plan:

We watch your remaining annual maximum so you can schedule needed care before your plan year ends.

WHAT IN-NETWORK STATUS MEANS FOR YOUR CHILD'S BILL

Many offices will see a child with United Concordia coverage. Being part of the United Concordia dental network is what changes the math.

Payment in Full on Covered Care:

Network dentists agree to accept United Concordia’s allowance as payment in full for covered services. You still owe your deductible and coinsurance, but not the gap between our fee and the allowance.

Estimates You Can Trust:

We base our estimates on your plan’s allowances, so the estimate we give you closely matches what you actually pay.

Less Paperwork:

We file claims directly, so all you need to bring is your member ID card.

PARENT QUESTIONS ABOUT UNITED CONCORDIA AND KIDS' DENTAL CARE

Does United Concordia cover my child's cleanings and checkups?

Most plans group exams, cleanings, and X-rays as preventive care, and many pay 100%. Fluoride and sealants often sit in the same category. Your employer’s plan sets your United Concordia dental benefits, so call 610-510-4693 with your member ID, and we will confirm yours.

How much will I pay for a filling with United Concordia?

Fillings are usually basic services, where the plan pays a percentage of its allowed amount. That percentage depends on your plan, and a deductible may apply. We give you an estimate before treatment so you know your share.

Does United Concordia cover dental sealants for kids?

Many plans list sealants with preventive services, but limits on age or which teeth qualify can apply. We check your United Concordia dental coverage before recommending them.

What do Advantage and Advantage Plus mean for my United Concordia plan?

The United Concordia dental network has tiers called Advantage and Advantage Plus, and the tier tied to your plan can affect how much it allows for a service. Share your member ID, and we will confirm how your plan works with our office.

I have Highmark Blue Edge Dental. Is that the same as United Concordia?

Highmark’s Blue Edge Dental groups use United Concordia’s network and have United Concordia administer their benefits, which is a separate company. If your card shows either name, call us, and we will verify it.

Does United Concordia cover tooth extractions for children?

Many plans count simple extractions as basic services, while more involved oral surgery may be handled differently. Our pediatric tooth extractions page explains when a child may need one, and we confirm your United Concordia dental coverage first.

Do you take United Concordia for children with special needs?

Yes. We bill United Concordia for special needs dentistry visits the same way we bill any other visit. What gets paid depends on the service and your plan, and we tell you before treatment.

What if my child has an emergency and I am not sure United Concordia covers it?

Call us right away. Some plans cover emergency pain relief, and our Dental Insurance Coordinator will check your coverage while we work to get your child seen quickly.
