Medicare Opt-out Disclosure:

Dear Patients / Parents / Legal Guardians,

This paragraph is a disclosure to inform you that I, Dr. Reza Izadi, have opted out of Medicare.

Therefore any anesthesiology services provided to you by Dr Izadi and Advanced Dental Anesthesia PLLC aka Safe Dental Sedation are not covered by Medicare. Medicare and Medicaid payments are not accepted. As a result, Medicare will not reimburse you or me for any services I provide. If you choose to receive care from me or Advanced Dental Anesthesia you will be responsible for the full payment of my services.

As required by Medicare regulations and to confirm your understanding and agreement to these terms, please enter your name and signature below.

By signing below I idenify myself as the patient, or as legal guardian or careaker of the patient, hereby acknowledge, guarantee, and agree to bear the full financial responsibility for the payment of all anesthesia services to be provided by Dr. Reza Izadi; and agree to the terms of this private contract.   I further understand that by signing this document, I am agreeing to pay Dr. Izadi his full fee for anesthesia services on the day such services are rendered as Advanced Dental Anesthesia PLLC (Safe Dental Sedation) hereon also referred to as “ the company” . If the anesthesia time exceeds the estimate that I was previously provided, I hereby agree that I will be responsible for said additional fee, and in fact, pay said sum on the day the services are actually rendered. If the anesthesia time is less than the estimated time, the patient/parent/guardian will be charged based on the actual anesthesia time.

I understand that $400.00 of the payment I have made is considered to be a deposit and is non-refundable in an effort to make certain that the patient complies with the instructions given prior to the anesthesia appointment, and to reserve the anesthesiologist’s time. 

I understand that the company is a "Fee for Service” practice and that no insurances are accepted. Terms such as “in-network” or “out of network” provider do not apply to the company as we do not engage in any form of billing with your medical insurance company for reimbursement of our services provided to you. You are solely responsible for our fees. 

Advanced dental anesthesia PLLC  will not contact or email or respond to any requests to communicate with your medical insurance company. 

I agree to allow my dental office to provide Advanced Dental Anesthesia PLLC ( Safe Dental Sedation ) with copies of my Drivers Licenses or additional personal information in case of outstanding unpaid balances.
