Financial Options
Medical and dental care are necessities for everyone. However, insurance plans—copays and deductibles—are not written to consider budgets or the financial burden of mounting family or individual healthcare expenses. Fortunately, your dentist in Kirkland, WA works hard to help patients here and in outlying areas get the care they need without the financial yoke.
At Jen Kim Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we believe that when dental care is made affordable, and when healthcare professionals help patients better understand their insurance policy language and fee schedules, those patients are more likely to seek out needed dental care. Additionally, when a dentist goes beyond the limits of dental insurance to provide services to the uninsured, it goes a long way toward improved dental care for the entire community.
It is also important to remember that poor oral health can impact your physical wellness.

Sorting Through Services and Insurance
Not only do we accept a wide variety of dental health plans, including Premera, Delta Dental, WDS, Regence, and Metlife, but we may be able to bill out of network on your behalf. Additionally, our team is skilled at helping patients make the most of their dental benefits by considering the following:
How much dental benefit do you have for the year?
Is it close to the end of the year?
Will your benefits start fresh within a few weeks?
How can we use this knowledge to make the most of your covered dental spending?
We can also help you determine what is covered and does this coverage apply to a portion or full treatment. For example, if you’re insurance covers dentures in Kirkland, WA up to a specific dollar amount, does it also cover the needed extractions? If your insurance does not cover orthodontics, does it cover the possible extractions required before invisible braces? What about crowns and bridges?
At Jen Kim Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, your family dentist in Kirkland, WA wants to save you as much money as possible, but we also want you to get the care you need. For these reasons, we have created an in-house plan to help the underinsured and those who have no insurance.
