Evaluate your potential out-of-pocket costs • Located in your secure member account, the dental cost estimator lets you compare estimated procedure charges based on ZIP Code. You can search estimates for both in-network and out-of-network providers. • Ask your dentist to submit a pretreatment estimate for any dental work you consider expensive. Then Ameritas will let you know the amount insurance will cover so you can budget for the remainder. The pretreatment estimate is based on your plan benefits and submitted claims.

Average dentist charges
You can use your dental benefits with any provider. The thing to consider is out-of-network dentists will charge you their regular rates, whereas Ameritas network providers have agreed to charge you 25-50% less. After your plan benefits are applied, you pay the remaining balance.
