What is direct billing?

You might be wondering what this is and how it works, let’s break it down:

If you are someone who is working and paying work benefits, or even if you pay into your own. Whether it be for:

• Dental
• Health
• Optometrist
• Prescriptions
• Etc.

These can be used to Direct-Bill into your paid benefits.

So, whenever you or someone on your benefits go to appointments you can ask if they can “direct bill” your coverage. When this is done, it can lower what you owe on the day of the appointment.

This also depends on what your coverage/plan is set with as well.

For example:

If you went to the dentist for a cleaning and check-up and it’s quoted at $150.00.

Your plan/benefits are set at 70% coverage. This now means:

$150.00 minus 70%.

You’d pay the remaining balance leftover, which would now be less than $150.00 upfront. Again, this would depend on the percentage covered with your plan/benefits.
