Financial Policy
Once your treatment plan or proposed surgery
has been established, we will provide you
with an estimate of our fees for service. As
a convenience to you, we will check all
dental and medical insurance coverage prior
to any surgery. Following your appointment,
we will submit the necessary insurance
claims to insure the insurance companies
will cover the estimated cost of your
surgery. Please provide all insurance
information so we can provide this service.
There is typically a co-payment with most
insurance coverage's and this co-pay will be
expected at the time of service. Your
insurance coverage, estimate for treatment,
and co-payment will be explained to you
prior to any treatment. The estimate is only
an estimated amount covered by your
insurance and not a guarantee of insurance
payment. Most insurance companies take 1-2
months to pay for your treatment.
Occasionally, there will be a balance on
your account following insurance payment
which will be billed to you. We are happy to
refund any money that you are entitled.
Keep in mind, this is your insurance policy
and any input that you can provide is always
useful. Also, all fees are ultimately the
responsibility of the patient regardless of
your insurance coverage. For those patients
without medical and dental coverage we offer
3rd party financing through Care Credit. We
will help you with the application process
if needed. We accept cash, check, VISA,
MasterCard, and Discover Card.
Insurance Information
Our office insurance coordinator has
years of experience with dealing with
insurance companies. Unfortunately,
insurance companies have the tendency to
change policies and coverage's on a regular
basis. We will provide you with the most up
to date and current insurance information
available to us at the time of your
appointment. At times, it is difficult to
give you an accurate estimate of your
co-payment due to insurance policies and
updates. Occasionally, insurance companies
may not provide payment coverage or benefit
information until after treatment has been
performed. Obviously, dealing with these
insurance companies is always a challenge
but we will do our very best to work with
you and your insurance company.
