Direct Insurance Billing in Maple Ridge, BC
We offer direct billing to most insurance providers and are happy to assist with claims and treatment estimates.
Our goal: To simplify the financial process so you can focus on your oral health.
What Is Direct Insurance Billing?
Direct insurance billing, sometimes called assignment billing, allows your dental office to electronically submit eligible treatment claims directly to your insurance provider.
Instead of paying the full treatment amount upfront and submitting paperwork yourself, your insurance company may pay its covered portion directly to the dental office.
Patients are typically responsible only for any remaining balance, deductible, co-payment, or treatment not covered by their insurance plan.

Insurance Plans and Coverage
Dental insurance plans vary significantly in terms of:
- Coverage percentages
- Deductibles
- Annual maximums
- Waiting periods
- Eligible treatments
- Exclusions and limitations
Because every policy is different, coverage cannot be guaranteed until your insurance provider processes the claim.
