Yes, you can pay for your dental treatment through your normal dental plan – you just need to make sure that orthodontist treatments are covered by the plan you pay for. Treatment is paid directly by your insurer and it must come from your dental insurance, not your standard health insurance.
You cannot split the cost over multiple insurance policies, only single claims are accepted. To submit your insurance details, just log onto the Candid portal once you’ve signed up for treatment and you can enter your details there, ready for Candid to make a claim on your behalf. Also, be aware that even if Candid submits the claim for you, you’ll need to follow up to ensure it’s being dealt with. Candid won’t chase your insurer for payment, and the debt could fall to you.
