Patient Forms
Insurance and Financial Policies Insurance InformationIf you have dental insurance we will help you determine the coverage you have available. In order to best assist you, it is important that you submit your dental and/or medical insurance information to us with your new patient paperwork a minimum of two business days prior to your scheduled appointment. This allows us time to contact your insurance company and obtain a breakdown of the benefits you or your employer purchased from the company.
Should you be diagnosed with treatment services, we will be able to provide you with a detailed plan which will give you an estimate of how much your insurance company may pay for each procedure, as well as the portion you will be expected to pay at the time of service.
Professional care is provided to you, our patient family, and not to an insurance company. The insurance company is responsible only to the patient as a benefit from the individual or employer plan purchase, and the patient is responsible to the doctor. We will assist you every way we can in filing your dental or medical claim, and handling insurance questions from our office on your behalf.
Financial ResponsibilityIn an effort to reduce the cost to you, the patient, while maintaining the highest level of professional care, we have established the financial policy as follows:
| • |
Payment of any account balance is due in full within 20 days of statement date
|
| • |
We gladly accept Visa, MasterCard, cash, or CareCredit |
