FEES & PAYMENTS
We make every effort to keep down the cost of your care. On special circumstances, other 3rd party arrangements, i.e., Cherry, Carecredit, can be made with our office PRIOR to the day of surgery. Any estimated charges for your treatment is due PRIOR to any treatment. If you have any insurance coverage / savings, we will assist you in submitting the proper forms so you can get reimbursed.
Most insurance companies have a fixed ANNUAL allowance for dental procedures, about $1500 - 3000 / year. This will only cover a percentage of the charge. The remaining balance is considered your out-of-pocket or your "co-pay. You are required to pay this PRIOR to any treatment. Any remaining balance not paid for by your insurance company is the "patient's responsibility". If we are unable to collect the amount due in 90 days after the treatment, the account will be send to collections and you will be responsible for any associated cost of collections.
