WE USE THE ALBERTA DENTAL FEE GUIDE
At Macleod Trail Dental, we appreciate that cost is of great concern to many patients and we strive to provide exceptional value and care at a reasonable cost. Alberta has a recommended fee guide for Dental Procedures.
Insurance companies set their own fee guide, some, like Alberta Blue Cross, have several different fee schedules. Dental fees are based on standardized codes, but the associated fee is established by that office. Dental offices are not allowed to change their fee schedules but must charge all patients the same fee for the same procedure (an exception to this is when dental coverage is with certain government programs such as Social Services or Worker’s Compensation, where the dental office is prohibited from balance billing).
