Financial & Insurance Options
Payment Options
For your convenience, we accept cash, personal checks and
major credit cards. Payment is expected at the time services are performed.
When more extensive dental care is necessary, financial arrangements can be
made with our office. We will work with you and your insurance company, to make sure you have minimum out of pocket expenses.
Insurance
As a service to our patients, our practice accepts most dental insurance
programs, including non-managed care, indemnity (traditional) and PPO
out-of-network. Our
accounting staff will prepare all the necessary forms for your dental benefits.
However, we remind you that your specific policy is an agreement between you
and your insurance company. Please keep in mind that you are responsible for
your total obligation should your insurance benefits result in less coverage
than anticipated. Our staff will gladly submit a pre-treatment estimate to your
insurance company so that you will know what your benefits will be.
The fees charged for services rendered to those who are insured are the
usual and customary fees charged to all our patients for similar services. Your
policy may base its allowances on a fixed fee schedule, which may or may not
coincide with our usual fees. You should be aware that different insurance
companies vary greatly in the types of coverage available. Also, some companies
take care of claims promptly while others delay payment for several months.
