Dental Care Services for Empire Members

Regular exams, cleanings, X-rays, and fluoride treatments keep your smile healthy. Empire typically covers these services at 100% with no deductible, encouraging routine care that prevents bigger problems.
Fillings, crowns, bridges, and root canals repair damaged teeth and restore function. Empire generally covers basic work at 80% and major procedures at 50% after your deductible.
Severe pain, infections, or broken teeth need immediate attention. We provide same-day emergency appointments for Empire members, handling urgent authorization requirements quickly while delivering relief.
Teeth whitening, veneers, and clear aligners improve your smile’s appearance. While Empire doesn’t typically cover purely cosmetic work, we discuss coverage for procedures that also restore function.
We treat patients of all ages, from children’s first visits through senior care. Empire family plans cover everyone in your household at our convenient Bay Ridge location.

Your Empire BlueCross Coverage Explained Simply

Most Empire plans have annual maximums between $1,000 and $2,000. Deductibles typically range from $25 to $50 per person yearly.

Tips for Empire BlueCross Members

Book both covered cleanings at the start of your benefit year. This protects your 100% covered benefits and catches problems when they’re small and easier to treat.
Track your benefit usage throughout the year. Empire plans typically provide $1,000-$2,000 annually, and unused amounts don’t roll over, so plan treatments strategically to maximize coverage.
Get written coverage confirmation from Empire before expensive procedures. This eliminates financial surprises by showing exactly what you’ll pay before treatment starts.
Always confirm your dentist participates in Empire networks. In-network care costs less due to negotiated rates, while out-of-network treatment increases your out-of-pocket expenses significantly.
Don’t waste premium dollars by not using coverage for children and spouses. Empire family plans include everyone, so schedule appointments for all household members regularly.

How Empire Claims Work at New Wave Dentistry

Before your appointment, we contact Empire to confirm active status, check remaining benefits, and review coverage percentages for planned treatments.

We provide your dental care and create detailed documentation. You get a clear breakdown showing Empire’s expected payment and your responsibility.

Our billing team submits claims to Empire within 24 hours. Electronic filing speeds processing and gets reimbursement faster than traditional paper methods.

Mistakes Empire Members Make with Coverage

  • Skipping 100% covered cleanings wastes money and allows problems to develop. These visits cost you nothing and prevent expensive treatments later.
  • Out-of-network care costs more due to balance billing. Staying in-network with negotiated rates significantly reduces your out-of-pocket expenses.
  • Delaying care until year-end creates scheduling challenges and rushed decisions. Benefits reset annually, so use them throughout the year instead of losing unused coverage.
  • Exceeding your annual maximum makes you responsible for all additional costs. Track usage to avoid hitting this limit before completing necessary treatments.
  • Address changes, plan updates, or employment transitions require updating your information. Outdated details lead to denied claims and billing complications.
