FINANCIAL POLICIES
Please read the following carefully before signing:

1. Payment is due in full at the time services are rendered. As a courtesy, we will gladly file your insurance for you.

2. We accept Personal Checks, MasterCard, Visa, Discover, American Express and Cash. A $50.00 fee plus any bank charges may be charged to your account for any check returned for non-sufficient funds.

3. A monthly service fee plus interest will be charged on all accounts with an outstanding balance after 30 days.

4. Cancellation policy: Our office requires 24 hours notice of cancellation. For any appointment that is not canceled 24 hours in advance, a fee of $50.00 may be charged to your account. As we usually have patients on a waiting list, we appreciate your call if you will need to reschedule your appointment.

5. The responsible party is the parent that brings the child in for the dental visit, independent of what a divorce decree may state. Reimbursement must be made between the divorced parties. We will not intervene.

PATIENTS COVERED BY MEDICAID and HOOSIER HEALTHWISE

This is to inform you of our current office policy concerning our patients with this type of coverage.

In order to treat patients in a quality manner, we must ask that you cooperate with our office staff in several areas.

1. You must present your current Medicaid card at each appointment. Without your Medicaid card, at each appointment, Medicaid will not allow us to treat your minor/child. We will be unable to see your minor/child for that appointment.

2. You are responsible for all appointments scheduled for your minor/child:

If you fail to show for my minor/child's appointment or you are late, you may be charged a $50.00 fee or you may not be able to schedule a future appointment.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding with this policy. If you have any questions, please contact our office. I understand, agree to, and accept the above Medicaid policy.

OFFICE PRACTICES

We request that all parents/guardians remain in the reception area during the minor/child's treatment unless special circumstances or parent/guardian assistance is necessary. If we feel that your minor/child has special needs or circumstances develop, we may request your assistance.

There are several reasons for this request. The primary reason is sterility and hygiene. Federal and State laws require us to maintain as sterile a work area as possible. That is why we wear sterile scrubs, masks, and gloves. Secondly, it allows us to work efficiently and effectively without distractions and interference. The doctor-patient relationship will be established and hopefully, the necessary treatment can be completed. If at any time we need parental assistance, the dental assistant will summon the parent for consultation and assistance.

Dear Parents,

Frequently parents ask about dental x-rays. Why are these necessary? How much do these cost? What does the doctor see on x-rays that he cannot see with his eyes? All of these questions will be answered for you. Please ask if you have questions. In our office, we take only those x-rays that are necessary and needed by the doctor to properly treat your child. Secondly, the state of Indiana requires that these x-rays stay in our office for 7 years. There are no charges for copying or transferring of your dental x-rays. Below is the state regulation that requires the doctor to retain these records for your safety and benefit. Thanks for you understanding in this manner.

Respectfully,

Wabash Valley Children's Dentistry, L.L.C

Witnessed
H.B. 1055 Health Care Providers X-ray Maintenance This bill started to be limited to mammograms; however, along the way it was amended to include x-rays taken by all health care providers. All providers participating in the Indiana Medicaid program shall maintain, for a period of seven (7) years from the date Medicaid services are provided, such medical or other records, or both, including x-rays, as are necessary to fully disclose and document the extent of the services provided to individuals receiving assistance under the provisions of the Indiana Medicaid program. At the time the x-ray film is taken, the dentist must either advise the patient or post in the x-ray examination area that all the x-ray films will be kept on file for at least seven (7) years and upon request during that time the patient may have a copy.

Anyone who violates this law is subject to disciplinary action by the licensing board. Effective July 1, , 1988.
