Note: The fees on treatment plans come from either the preferred fee schedule of the location where the procedures are treatment planned or, if there is not a fee schedule for the location, the treatment-planned provider's fee schedule. The fees do not take into account an insurance plan's fee schedule and coverage table or a patient's estimated portion.
