An intake with the periodontist usually falls under supplementary dental insurance. Basic health insurance generally does not cover these consultations. The reimbursement depends on your insurance package and annual limit. Some policies reimburse a percentage of the costs, for example 75%. You can request the rates and treatment codes from the practice for an indication of the costs. An intake usually consists of a consultation, diagnostics and possibly X-rays. With a referral letter from your dentist, the intake is often approved more quickly. Check with your health insurer in advance what will be reimbursed. A clear estimate helps to avoid surprises. That way, you know exactly where you stand financially at the start of your treatment.
