If you have dental insurance, your plan likely offers some kind of orthodontic coverage. Diamond Braces will help you verify your insurance information and work directly with your insurer to help secure coverage.

State-sponsored insurance plans cover all individuals 21 years of age and younger.

If your case – or your child’s case – is approved, your state-sponsored insurance plan will cover all necessary treatment costs.

State-sponsored orthodontic coverage is subject to a strict set of approval qualifications. Diamond Braces will take complimentary X-Rays and send them to your insurance provider for approval. After 20 years of experience, our orthodontists can generally tell you ahead of time whether you can expect to be approved.

Insurers use a variety of mechanisms to assess your orthodontic case: either your case falls under 1 of 5 qualifying conditions, or your case is scored on the HLD index to determine whether the severity of your condition qualifies for coverage.

It’s a clinical measurement tool to determine whether your orthodontic case is approved for coverage. Don’t ask what HLD stands for.

HLD stands for Handicapping Labio-Lingual Deviation. We told you not to ask!

If you change to another state-sponsored plan, your coverage generally remains the same and you can expect uninterrupted insurance coverage. If you change to a private insurance plan, your coverage will need to be approved under the guidelines of your new private plan. It is likely that your costs will change given the guidelines of private insurers.

If you lose your insurance, and/or your new plan no longer covers orthodontic treatment, Diamond Braces will help you establish a flexible monthly payment plan that allows you to pay in manageable installments. All Diamond Braces payment plans are interest-free and require no up-front costs, and your costs will be pro-rated to include only the remaining balance.
