Our Process

Insurance and Direct Billing

Understanding dental insurance should not make receiving care more complicated. Altitude Dental works with most major dental insurance plans and offers electronic claim submission and direct billing whenever permitted by your plan.


Our team will help you navigate the insurance process, understand available information about your coverage, and make the financial side of your visit as straightforward as possible.

Our Process

What Is Dental Direct Billing?

Direct billing allows Altitude Dental to submit an insurance claim directly to your insurance provider following your appointment.

When permitted by your plan, the insurance provider pays its approved portion directly to the clinic.


You are responsible for any deductible, co-payment, treatment amount above the plan’s fee guide, or remaining balance not covered by your insurance.


Direct billing can reduce paperwork and make the payment process more convenient, but it does not guarantee that a treatment will be fully covered.
