Payment of estimated insurance co-payments and deductibles are expected at the time of service. Payments may be made with cash, check, Visa, Master Card, Discover, American Express, and Care Credit. If you do not have insurance, payment is expected at the time of service. For treatment requiring multiple visits, payment must be made in full by the last visit.
As a courtesy to our patients, we file all necessary claims with your insurance company. Any portion not expected to be covered by these benefits is the patient’s responsibility and is due at the time of service. This amount will include deductibles and estimated co-payments. If the benefit amounts are less than expected, you will be billed the difference, and payment is due within ten days of receiving a statement.
Dental benefits are contracts between the policyholder and the insurance company, not our office. We will make every effort to assist you with any benefit questions. Ultimately you are responsible for the balance on all dental services provided, as we cannot render services on the assumption that an insurance company will pay our charges.
Marital status is not a consideration under any circumstance. Decreed custody or lack thereof does not alter financial responsibility. The parent accompanying the child/minor on the day of service will be considered the responsible party. We will gladly provide you with copies of the statements, which you may provide to the other parent for reimbursement.
