Observed dataObserved negotiated rates. Every figure here is a real negotiated amount taken from payer files published under the federal Transparency in Coverage rule. These are what a dental plan pays a contracted practice - not a cash price.

Estimated self-payEstimated self-pay range, not an observation. We do not have observed cash prices, and we will not present a modelled number as though we did. This range is the upper half of the same observed negotiated distribution, shown because an uninsured patient generally pays at or above the highest negotiated tier. Treat it as a budgeting aid and ask any practice for a written quote.

Common questions

How many Waldorf practices are behind these figures?

Between 8 and 11 depending on the treatment, shown per row above. A Waldorf figure is published only when at least 8 separate practices in the city carried a negotiated rate for it.

Will a Waldorf dentist charge me these amounts?

Not if you are paying cash. These are rates negotiated between plans and contracted practices in Waldorf. Uninsured patients are normally quoted higher. Ask any practice for an itemised written quote — that is the only number that binds them.
