How do I Ask my Dentist to Submit a Pre-determination to Pacific Blue Cross before Starting Treatment?

At Parkside Dental Group, we make this process simple for you by handling all the administrative work. To ask for a pre-determination, you just need to follow these steps:

  1. Request a coverage estimate: During your appointment in Squamish, simply let our front desk team know that you would like a Pacific Blue Cross dental pre-determination before proceeding with your treatment. You do not need to contact the insurer yourself.
  2. We prepare the documentation: Once you have your exam and treatment plan, our team gathers the necessary clinical details, including specific procedure codes, tooth numbers, and a narrative explaining why the treatment is necessary.
  3. Submission of supporting materials: We include current X-rays or radiographs that demonstrate the clinical need for the work. This helps Pacific Blue Cross review the request accurately and efficiently.
  4. Review the estimate: Once Pacific Blue Cross returns the written estimate (typically within several business days), we will sit down with you to review the numbers openly. This breakdown shows the estimated insurer portion and your out-of-pocket responsibility.

We provide complete dental care and direct insurance billing all under one roof to ensure your experience is as stress-free as possible. Our goal is to offer personalized dental solutions while treating each patient as we would our own family.
