Using a dentist outside of one's insurance network refers to seeking dental care from a provider who does not have a contract with the patient's insurance company. In such cases, the patient is typically responsible for paying the full cost of the dental services, though they may be able to seek reimbursement from their insurance company later on.
There are several reasons why a patient might choose to use a dentist out of network. Some patients may prefer to see a specific dentist who is not in their insurance network, while others may find that out-of-network dentists offer more convenient appointment times or locations. Additionally, some out-of-network dentists may offer specialized services that are not covered by insurance.
