Not necessarily true. Some plans only cover 2, the other 2 will need to be paid out of pocket. Doesn’t automatically qualify you. Check with your insurance and dental office.

I work in a dental office. Has nothing to do with how offices “code” things. I’m so tired of patients thinking it’s the fault of the office because things get denied sometimes. The exact codes are billed on the date of service the services are rendered, there is no trick or sneaky thing offices do to get cleanings covered 4 times a year for patients. It has to do with your plan’s frequency limitations. Some plans allow 4 cleanings a year, like yours.

Work in a dental office. After an SRP, scaling and root planing or also known as a deep cleaning, most patients are placed on a 3 month periodontal maintenance. That is seen as a different under insurance frequencies than a regular prophy which is only 2 times per year usually.
