What Does Your Blue Cross Blue Shield Plan Cover Here?
Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO plans are typically structured around three tiers of care: preventive, basic, and major services. Preventive care — things like your routine cleanings, exams, and X-rays — is usually covered at the highest level, often around 100% when you're seeing an in-network provider like Boulevard Dental. That's by design. Your plan wants you coming in regularly because it's cheaper for everyone when small problems get caught early.
Basic services, which include things like fillings and simple extractions, are usually covered at a lower percentage — your plan picks up a portion and you cover the rest. Major work like crowns, bridges, or root canals typically falls into a third tier with a higher patient share. Most BCBS PPO plans also come with an annual deductible you'll need to meet and an annual maximum benefit — the cap on what your insurance will pay out in a given year. Costs beyond that maximum are yours to cover. The specifics vary depending on your exact plan, so we always recommend we verify your benefits before your appointment to make sure you know exactly where you stand.
Boulevard Dental Is an In-Network Blue Cross Blue Shield Provider
Being in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield means Dr. Kopakin's practice has a direct contract with BCBS — and that matters for your wallet. Instead of paying full price and waiting for a reimbursement, your costs are based on pre-negotiated rates that are almost always significantly lower than what out-of-network providers charge.
You still use your same plan, your same card, your same benefits — you just get more out of them when you're seeing someone in-network. In most cases, being in-network means lower copays, lower out-of-pocket costs overall, and your annual maximum goes further. For folks in Clearwater who want to actually use their insurance rather than just have it, coming to an in-network provider is the move that makes the most financial sense.
Why Clearwater Patients Choose Boulevard Dental
Dr. Jason Kopakin has built a practice where people actually feel comfortable — which sounds simple, but it's rarer than it should be. Patients here aren't rushed through appointments. Dr. Kopakin takes time to explain what he's seeing, what he recommends, and why — so you leave understanding your own dental health, not just nodding along.
The team at Boulevard Dental is small enough that they remember your name and your history, but experienced enough to handle everything from routine cleanings to more involved restorative work. The office is easy to get to in Clearwater, hours run Monday through Friday (with earlier Friday closings), and new patients are always welcome.

Since Dr. Kopakin is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, you’re getting the most out of your benefits when you come here.
