Financials
It is our desire to provide the highest quality dental care to all of our patients. Our office wants all of our patients to be able to comfortably afford their dental care for teeth, gums, and bones to last a life time. We proudly offer the following practice policies so that our patients can have the opportunity to decide which treatment and payment options will best suit their individual needs. We ask that you please read, agree to, and sign before any treatment is rendered.
Dental Insurance:
Please be prepared to show your current dental insurance card and a valid photo ID at each visit.
Your insurance is a contract between you, your employer (if applicable) and the insurance company. At our practice, we will file your insurance claim for you. As a courtesy, we will assist you with information, however, if you have any additional questions about coverage, please contact your insurance company or human resources department.
Our goal is to maximize your insurance benefits. Please remember that insurance is not deigned to cover 100% of the cost of all types of dental treatment. At the time of treatment, the patient/guarantor is responsible for the estimated portion that the insurance does not cover (also called “copay”).
Treatment recommended by our dental professionals is never based on what your insurance company will pay, but on what our team feels is best for your overall dental health. We request that you understand your benefit plan and be familiar with the dental benefits covered by your insurance in advance of your appointment so that together we can make the best treatment decisions for you.
Financial Considerations
At our practice, we strive to provide patients with comfortable financing options for affording their dental treatment. Payment arrangements are required before beginning any treatment that is not covered 100% by dental insurance. The payment options available to you are:
- PAYMENT IN FULL: Payment is due at the time of the appointment. A 5% discount is applied to non-insured patients with payment in full.
- AUTO-PAY: For treatment exceeding $100.00, our office offers an auto-payment plan on your credit or debit card. 50% of the total cost of treatment is processed on the day that treatment begins, with a 25% of the total cost processed the next 2 months.
- THIRD PARTY FINANCING: CARE CREDIT or SUNBIT offers deferred interest or interest free financing for larger treatment plans. A minimum purchase is required, and subject to credit approval. For more information, visit: www.carecredit.com
