ZocDoc makes it easy to find dentists that accept your insurance. Here is what to do:
Step 1: Locate the insurance selection field.
This looks slightly different depending on which page your are on. Here are the two most common forms:
Step 2: Select the Dental Insurance
Click into the field where it says "I'll fill out my insurance company later". A drop down list will appear. If you do have dental insurance, please select the name of your insurance. If you don't have dental insurance, or your plan is not listed, please select "I am paying by myself". Please note that in most cases, your dental insurance will be different from your medical (health) insurance. If you are unsure, please contact your HR department.
Step 3: Select Your Plan
Once you have selected your insurance, the drop down list for "Dental Insurance Plan" will be active. Click into this field to select your plan.
If you were on a page that gave you the option to only show dentists that accept your insurance: 
you can check the box to filter out all dentists that do not participate in your insurance.
Once you apply the insurance filter, you will get one of 3 possible results:
 or Insurance Logo | Dentist is in network with your insurance. Typically, you will not have to file any paperwork and you'll have the lowest possible co-pay, or no co-pay at all (depending on your plan). |
 | Dentist does not participate with your insurance (I.e., has no contract). However, the dentist will send all the necessary forms to the insurance for you, and a check will be mailed directly to the dentist or to you, depending on your plan. While you may be fully covered for small procedures, your co-pay is typically higher for more expensive ones (depending on your plan). |
 | Dentist does not participate with your insurance (I.e., has no contract). You will be provided with an itemized bill that you can submit to your insurance, but you typically will have to pay your bill during your visit to this office. |
