  • Financial Agreement

  • Thank you for choosing our office as your dental health care provider. We are committed to providing you with the highest quality lifetime dental care so that you may fully attain optimum oral health. Everyone benefits when office and financial policy arrangements are understood. Please understand that payment of your bill is considered as part of your treatment. The following is a statement of our Financial Agreement which we require you to read and sign prior to any treatment.

    Regarding Payment

    Payment of estimated patient portion is due at the time of treatment. We desire to make dental treatment affordable to all of our patients. Therefore, we offer the following payment options:

    1) We accept the following forms of payment: Cash, Visa, and MasterCard.

    2) Flexible payment plans of up to 6 months upon approval with Care Credit®. Approval must be received prior to the treatment date.

    Payment for services is due at the time services are rendered unless prior arrangements have been made with the doctor and the billing receptionist.

    The parent that accompanies the minor child/children to the appointment is responsible for any payment due. For unaccompanied minors, non-emergency treatment will be denied unless charges have been pre-authorized before the appointment date or previous arrangements have been made with the doctor and billing receptionist.

    Regarding Insurance

          As a courtesy to you, we will gladly process your insurance claim forms. Our responsibility is to provide you with the treatment that best meets your needs, not to try to match your care to insurance plan limitations. Dental insurance plans do not correspond to individual patient needs, and as such, many routine and necessary dental services are not covered even though you may need those services.  We understand insurance guidelines can be difficult to understand and overwhelming at times.  Fortunately, with the information provided to us by you and your insurance company, we are able to provide some assistance in estimating your insurance benefit. However, your insurance company makes final determination once treatment is completed and the claim is submitted.

    Your insurance is a contract between you and your insurance company; therefore, all charges are your responsibility. All insurance co-pays and deductibles must be paid at the time of service. In the event we do accept assignment of benefits and your insurance company has not paid your account in full within 60 days, the balance may be transferred to your account. Your complete insurance information must be presented at the time services are provided. Insurance claims cannot be backdated. Most benefits will be verified before your insurance company can be billed.

    Financial Agreement

         All insurance benefits are payable to the dental office, and I agree to release any information necessary for the dental office to process claims.  We would be happy to discuss our charges and how they relate to your particular situation. We also realize that temporary financial situations may affect timely payment of your account. If such problems do arise, we encourage you to contact us promptly for assistance in the management of your account.

    I realize I am financially responsible for all charges incurred, regardless of insurance coverage.  I am responsible for all collection costs incurred by the dental office once the account is turned over to a collection agency.

    Regarding Appointments

         Your reserved time in our office is important. We understand that sometimes it is necessary to change your appointment, so we ask that you kindly give us a minimum of 2 business days notice. Without this notice, we are unable to offer treatment to other patients that may have needed our care. If 2 or more appointments are broken in a 12 month period without 2 business days notice, a cancellation fee of $50 will be applied to your account.

    Thank you for understanding our Financial Agreement. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

    I have read Dr. Ayars’ Financial Agreement. I understand and agree to this Financial Agreement.
