We are committed to providing you with the highest quality lifetime dental care, so that you may attain optimum oral health. The following is a statement of our Financial Policy, which we require that you read, agree to, and sign prior to any treatment. We are pleased to discuss our professional fees with you at any time. Your clear understanding of the Financial Policy is important to our professional relationship. Please ask if you have any questions about our fees, Financial Policy, or your responsibility upon arrival at your first appointment.
ADULT PATIENTS
Adult patients are responsible for full payment at time of service.
MINORS ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT
The adult accompanying a minor, his/her parents or guardians, are responsible for full payment at time of service.
INSURANCE
We must emphasize that as your dental care provider, our relationship is with you, our patient, not with your insurance company. Your insurance policy is a contract between you, your employer, and your insurance company.
Please understand that we will provide an insurance estimate to you, however, it is not a quarantee that your insurance will pay exactly as estimated. Your insurance company and your plan benefits will determine the amount paid. We will, of course, do all we can to make sure your estimate is as accurate as possible. If payment is not received or your claim is denied, you will be responsible for paying the full amount at that time. If you are paid by the insurance company instead of our practice, you then become responsible for the total account balance and payment would be expected immediately
We ask that you sign this form and/or any other necessary documents that may be required by your insurance
company.
DEDUCTIBLE/CO-PAYMENT
We may ask that you pay the deductible and co-payment, which is the estimated amount, not covered by your insurance company, by cash, check, credit card or Patient Financing at the time we provide the service to you.
MEDICARE/ MEDICAID/ CHAMP US/ WORKER'S COMPENSATION
If you are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, CHAMP US, Worker's Compensation or any other government sponsored program, please discuss your payment situation with our office staff prior to arriving at the office on the date of service.
DELINQUENT PAYMENTS
It is our policy to charge a finance fee for outstanding patient balances. In addition, all payments returned due to non-sufficient funds will be subject to a fee.
MISSED APPOINTMENTS
Unless cancelled in advance, our policy is to charge a fee for missed appointments. Please help us service you better by keeping scheduled appointments.
REFUND POLICY
You may discontinue treatment and request a refund at any time for any amount that you paid for treatment that you did not receive. Please contact your office if you'd like to request a refund.
