Insurance
Upon your visit to our practice, please provide us with your current dental insurance card and any information pertaining to the policy holder. We accept most major dental insurances. As a courtesy, we will file dental insurance claims for you.
At the conclusion of your dental visit, your treatment plan will be reviewed with you in detail, breaking down estimated insurance payment (if applicable), co-pays and other financial issues that may arise. Our office managers will present you with a detailed outline of your treatment plan as well as discuss your financial options with you.

Ability to Pay Reduced Fee Schedule
As of 2020, 50% of children and 70% of adults have no dental insurance. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), has stated that dental caries (cavities) are one of the most prevalent of infections affecting the American population. With the continued decline of private and government sponsored dental insurance and the steadily increasing costs of services, dentistry is becoming “out of reach” for a large portion of the population.
At Omaha Family Dental we feel we have an obligation to serve the entire community. We feel that finances should never restrict anyone from being able to receive dental treatment. Therefore, we offer a wide array of financial options for everyone.
- We accept most major dental insurance
- We accept cash and offer a percentage discount to patients paying in cash
- We accept credit cards

- For those without dental insurance we offer a Discount Dental Program
Insurance did not pay. Why?
At Omaha Family Dental we bill your insurance as a courtesy. Dental insurance is typically a contract between the employer and the patient. It has no connections to us, as your dental office. The extent of coverage varies greatly from company to company and, sometimes, it may even vary within a company. It has absolutely nothing to do with the level of service that we provide and the fee charged for these services. An often misunderstood term used by many insurance companies is “UCR”. This is an arbitrary fee ceiling at which the insurance company will stop reimbursement. These fee ceilings were often set 10-15 years ago. After this, ceiling coverage for a particular procedure may cease, meaning that the patient will have an extra portion that is due. Despite our best efforts at giving you an accurate estimate, a patient will occasionally owe a difference. Again, this has nothing to do with the fee charged, but the level of coverage negotiated by the insurance company.
