Frequently Asked Questions About Blue Cross of Idaho Dental Coverage
Does Lamb Family Dental accept Blue Cross of Idaho?
Yes. Lamb Family Dental is an in-network Blue Cross of Idaho dental provider. We accept BCI PPO, BCI EPO, BCI Dental Select, and True Blue Medicare Advantage plans. Our insurance team verifies your specific coverage before any appointment so you know exactly what to expect.
Is Blue Cross of Idaho the same as Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield?
No. Blue Cross of Idaho (BCI) and Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield (Regence BCBS) are two separate insurance companies. BCI is an Idaho-based insurer, while Regence BCBS is part of a multi-state company headquartered in Portland, Oregon. Both operate in Idaho, and patients often confuse the two. Lamb Family Dental accepts both Blue Cross of Idaho and Regence BCBS plans, so you are covered either way. Check the name on the front of your card to confirm which company you have.
What does Blue Cross of Idaho dental insurance cover?
Most BCI dental plans cover preventive care like cleanings and exams at 100 percent, basic procedures like fillings at 70 to 80 percent, and major work like crowns and implants at 50 percent. Annual maximums typically range from $1,000 to $1,500, and deductibles range from $25 to $75 per individual.
Does Blue Cross of Idaho cover dental cleanings at 100 percent?
Yes, most BCI plans cover routine cleanings, exams, and X-rays at 100 percent as preventive care. This means zero out-of-pocket cost for these visits. Most plans allow two cleanings per calendar year. No deductible applies to preventive services on the majority of BCI plans.
I am a State of Idaho employee. Do you accept my dental insurance?
Yes. The State of Idaho offers dental benefits through Blue Cross of Idaho as part of the Public Employee Benefits System (PEBS). Lamb Family Dental is an in-network provider for state employee BCI dental plans. This includes employees of state agencies, Boise State University, and other public institutions. Call (208) 344-6300 and our team will verify your specific coverage.
How do I find out if my BCI plan covers a specific procedure?
Call our office at (208) 344-6300 with your BCI member ID and group number.

What is the annual maximum on Blue Cross of Idaho dental plans?
Most BCI dental plans have an annual maximum between $1,000 and $1,500 per person. This is the most your plan will pay toward dental work in a calendar year. Preventive care like cleanings and exams usually does not count toward this maximum. We track your remaining benefits and help you plan treatment to get the most from your coverage each year.
Does Blue Cross of Idaho cover dental implants?
Many BCI plans cover dental implants at the major procedure rate, typically 50 percent after your deductible. Some older plans may exclude implants or have waiting periods. We check your specific benefits and provide a written estimate before scheduling implant surgery so you know your exact cost.
