In order to consistently provide quality dental care and personal service, Dr. Michael has chosen to remain an out-of-network dental provider. What this means is that if you are looking at your dental insurance’s list of (in-network)providers, you won’t see Dr. Michael. These in-network providers, also referred to as preferred providers, have contracted with the dental insurance companies to provide dental services at a reduced fee. Depending on your dental plan, you will still receive dental benefits based on the out-of-network fee schedule. Many of the routine dental visits, x-rays and cleanings are still covered completely whether in-network or out-of-network.
