While Luminous Smiles Dental Studio works with several insurance providers (including Aetna PPO & Medicare, Community Life, United Concordia & Medicare, UPMC Dental Advantage & for Life), they have recently updated their insurance policy for 2025 due to challenges with insurance companies regarding reimbursement fees and approval of necessary treatments. For patients whose insurance is not in-network, the office will still submit claims as a courtesy, but payment in full will be due at the time of visit, with the patient being reimbursed by their insurance company. For patients without dental insurance, Luminous Smiles offers a "Smile Saver Club." This membership plan, starting at $35 per month (plus a one-time activation fee), includes two cleaning and check-up exams with complimentary fluoride treatments per year, one emergency visit with complimentary x-rays per year, a 20% discount on all treatments, and a 25% discount on Invisalign. The studio also emphasizes ADA accessibility, continuously working to improve their website's accessibility and offering assistance for patients with specific needs. Dr. Joseph Liu and the Luminous Smiles Dental Studio team are dedicated to providing the best possible care and maintaining the highest standards in dentistry, refusing to compromise quality due to insurance company pressures.
