Thank you for your referrals! We appreciate your business!

At Associated Endodontists, we take the question mark out of your dental insurance!

Before your visit to our office you will know exactly what your insurance will pay and what your copay will be for the visit.  Dental insurance can be confusing when one tries to understand dental codes and terminology as well as what it means to be a "participating" dentist.

 Dr. Eric Hodges participates with the major dental insurance carriers in the Philadelphia area, including but not limited to:

1. Delta Dental
2. Aetna
3. Cigna
4. Guardian
5. MetLife
6. United Concordia
7. LEHB
8. Teamsters
9. Most Union Dental Plans 

By doing so, Dr. Hodges and his associate are able to give their patients a "reduced fee" from what would normally be charged for that same visit at a non-participating office.  Call Associated Endodontists today at 215-477-8941 for more information.
