Financial Considerations Our goal is to provide the best possible dental care for each individual in a way which respects the emotional and financial needs of the friends we call patients. Clear financial arrangements play an important part in the attainment of good dental health. The following financial options are offered. Payment Options Payment During Treatment: Cash, check, or Credit Card at time of service. Some treatments require several visits. With advance arrangements, you may pay a portion of the total fee at each visit with payment-in-full on the last visit. Outside Financing Option: As a service to our patients, we are pleased to offer CareCredit, the nation's leading patient payment plan. CareCredit has several payment plans to meet every financing need, including interest free and low interest options, each with low monthly payments and no upfront costs. It's easy to apply and you'll receive an online decision in seconds. Apply Now or see our staff for more details. Patients With Insurance Coverage Dental insurance pays only a portion of the total treatment charge. The portion which the patient pays (patient co-payment) can be handled according to the PAYMENT OPTIONS outlined above. The portion which the insurance company pays (insurance benefit) can be assigned to our office. Assignment of Benefits Our office will accept assignment of benefits under the following conditions: The following information MUST be provided at the first visit for verification of insurance benefits: subscriber birthdate, social security number insurance carrier, billing address, phone number, group number If this information is not available at the first visit the patient will be asked for payment in full for the day's charges. After verification of insurance benefits, we will accept assignment of benefits as a partial payment of the total charge. You will be expected to pay your deductible, if applicable, and any estimated patient co-payment. If, after 90 days, your insurance company has not paid their portion, the patient will be responsible for paying the balance in full.
