Your Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico (BCBSNM) dental coverage can provide benefits for:
- Diagnostic and Preventive Services
- Endodontic Services
- General Services (emergency treatment, general anesthesia, etc.)
- Periodontal Services
- Restorative Services
- Orthodontics*
- Prosthodontic Services*
With BCBSNM dental coverage:
- You can check the status of your dental claims and more by logging in to our secure member portal, Blue Access® for Members.
- You can visit dental providers in or out of our network.
- You can receive dental care from any licensed dentist (no referrals are necessary), however, receiving dental care from one of our in-network dentists provides significant savings and means less paperwork for you.
- If you use an in-network dental provider, you won't be billed for the difference between a participating dentist's usual fees and the benefit limits for covered services, and you won't have to file claims.
- If you prefer the flexibility to use an out-of-network dental provider, you will usually pay the full amount for services and file a claim form, and your out-of-pocket costs may be higher.
*Not all benefits listed are covered by all dental plans; please refer to your benefit summary to see which benefits are covered by your plan.
If you have questions about your dental benefits, coverage, filing claims, or finding a contracting dentist, call Customer Service toll-free at (877) 723-5697 or email us.
