Blue Cross Blue Shield Dental has been very easy to work with. The dentist office always handles the entire claims process. I am hands off. When I need work done an estimate can immediately be completed and I pay based on the prediction of what the insurance will cover. It seems they they reasonably cover everything I need. I wish they would cover more cavity prevention like sealants. I feel that it would save the company money in claims if it prevents future cavities.

Their coverage is not cheap but I am told by the dentist office that their reimbursement is better than other companies. There seems to be a smooth resolution of claims made. I did have an issue with their website where I could not set up an account to pay online. They kept saying that there were technical issues and to try again later. I talked to a representative and they were supposed to get back with me about this but it never happened.

For the most part very good. Friendly and helpful when calling customer service. EOBs a little difficult to read, but with descriptions provided could figure out. Timely receipt of EOBs. Vision and Dental providers difficult to find where we live (Winston Salem)

Excellent coverage of health expenses for our plan. But raises monthly premiums every year by 9 - 10% a year. They have been getting too expensive since the cost goes up significantly every year. As a retiree on fixed income may not be able to continue with them in a couple of years if the monthly premium expenses continue to rise! On the positive side they covered all my medical costs associated with several major surgeries in 2019! Overall, their services have been excellent!

I had BlueCross BlueShield dental insurance in Michigan and it was a little difficult to find a dentist that took the insurance in my area. However, they covered a fair amount of the bill so I can't complain!

BCBS has been pretty good to work with for our dentist. It can still be expensive when you have issues to take care of, but it covered a good portion of my night guard which was nice.

Their customer service has been decent. One person we called didn't help us much but the next time we called the next worker went above and beyond our basic expectations to help us.

I like the insurance, it nearly leaves me paying nothing out of pocket at the doctors and dental office visits. The insurance is rather pricey for a single individual but the cover is really great.

BCBS is a reputable insurance company, but as with any insurance, it can be hard to get a hold of them.
