Altus Dental Insurance Accepted in Upper East Side — Blue Dental NYC
Quick intro
If you carry Altus Dental Insurance, Blue Dental NYC on the Upper East Side accepts many Altus plans. We make your visit easy with benefit verification, cost estimates, and streamlined claims processing so there are no surprises.
Altus plans we typically work with
We accept a variety of Altus Dental PPO and network-based plans, including employer or group Altus plans. Because policies vary, we’ll verify your specific plan ahead of time. Send or bring a photo of your Altus insurance card (front/back) with your date of birth. We’ll check your plan’s copays, deductible, annual maximum, frequency limits, and any waiting periods before your appointment.
What your Altus plan may cover
Many Altus plans offer strong preventive care—regular exams, cleanings, and X-rays may be covered at low or no cost. Basic restorative treatments like fillings and simple extractions are usually partially covered. Major restorative services (crowns, bridges, dentures, root canal therapy) might require prior authorization. Dental emergencies—such as toothache, broken or chipped teeth, or a lost crown—are typically included. Cosmetic or elective procedures like teeth whitening or veneers often have limited coverage depending on your policy.
Our services for Altus-insured patients
Blue Dental NYC provides comprehensive dental services to help you make the most of your Altus benefits. These include preventive and general dentistry (exams, cleanings, routine maintenance), restorative care (fillings, crowns, bridges, root canals), implant prosthetics, cosmetic enhancements (veneers, whitening) when covered, periodontal health care and maintenance, and emergency / urgent dental services.
How we simplify the insurance process
We verify your Altus benefits before your visit using your insurance plan details. We offer transparent cost estimates for your copays or out-of-pocket expenses before treatment begins. We submit claims electronically to Altus whenever possible, handle required documentation, and provide itemized receipts for your records or for FSA/HSA claims.
New patient checklist
Bring your Altus dental insurance card (or a clear photo) and a valid photo ID. Please bring a list of your medications and any allergies. If you have any recent dental records or X-rays from previous dental work, those are helpful too. Also have a payment method ready for copays or services not fully covered.
