Our Approach

Why we give written estimates.

Planned treatment should come with clear numbers before you move forward.

For planned treatment, KYT provides written estimates and reviews PPO benefits whenever possible before scheduling. The estimate explains the procedure fee, expected insurance coverage, estimated patient portion, and available payment options.

What is included

What the estimate can include.

Procedure name and code

Full fee before insurance

Expected insurance coverage based on your plan

Estimated patient portion

Financing options, when available

Notes about known plan limitations or exclusions

Why it helps

Why written estimates help patients.

Easier planning

Knowing the estimated cost before scheduling lets you plan, ask questions, and weigh options without time pressure.

Clearer conversations

Patients make clearer decisions when fees, expected coverage, and estimated patient portions are explained in writing before care begins.

Option comparison

Seeing the estimate helps you compare treatment options when more than one path is clinically reasonable.

Transparency before scheduling

For planned treatment, we review the estimate with you before scheduling so you can ask questions and understand the expected cost.

What estimates cannot guarantee

Insurance estimates are not guarantees.

Final payment is determined by the insurance carrier after claim processing. Coverage estimates are based on your plan details as provided, and the final amount may differ.

Insurance carrier processing decisions

Plan downgrades or benefit exclusions

Annual maximum changes mid-year

Deductible changes or prior claim offsets

Clinical findings that change the treatment plan after the estimate is given

We explain these limitations when reviewing the estimate so you understand what the number represents.
