Insurance
Our practice accepts payment from most dental insurance plans. We are not part of any preferred provider network. Our accounting staff will prepare and submit all the necessary forms for your primary dental benefits. However, we remind you that your specific policy is an agreement between you and your insurance company. You are responsible for your total obligation if 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.
Payment Options
For your convenience, we accept cash, personal checks, money orders and major credit cards including:
- Visa
- MasterCard
- American Express
- Discover
Payment is expected at the time services are performed. When more extensive dental care is necessary, financial arrangements can be made with our office.
In-Office Financing
We offer short-term, in-office financing. Our financial coordinator will gladly make payment arrangements for patients with larger treatment plan estimates. Please discuss this possibility prior to receiving treatment.
