Prior to treatment you will be provided with details of the treatment and an estimate
of the time involved and the fees.
Payment is expected at the time of treatment unless prior arrangements have been made with
our Business Manager. Written estimation of fees will be provided for all scheduled
treatment.
DENTAL INSURANCE
Many of our patients have dental insurance. It is important to remember that your
dental insurance policy is an agreement between you (or your employer) and the insurance
company. Dental insurance is considered a method of reimbursing the patient for fees
paid to the doctor and is not a substitute for payment. We are only a third party in
this arrangement. We follow a program that simplifies the preparation of insurance
claim forms, thereby holding down these office costs which are unrelated to the delivery
of good dental care. The form we give you provides all of the information needed
from us for your insurance company to process your claim. Simply attach this form to
the one provided by your insurance carrier and submit it for processing. Please
remember that no insurance company attempts to cover all dental costs. Some
companies pay fixed allowances for certain procedures and others pay percentages of
allowances. While we will be happy to provide all the information necessary for you
to apply for payment, the payment schedule is a reflection of your own policy and is
really determined by the premiums paid for the policy.
