I understand charges and amounts covered for dental work I have had done are based on a fee guide. What is a fee guide?
A. Dental fee guides are established and published by provincial dental associations – for example the Ontario Dental Association. Fee guides serve as a reference for dental practitioners to develop fee structures that are fair and reasonable for the patient and the practitioner. Insurers use these guides to provide consistent benefits within provinces and in the management of their dental plans.
