Please remember that insurance is considered a method of reimbursing the patient for fees paid to the doctor and is not a substitute for payment.
Some insurance companies pay fixed allowances for certain procedures while others pay a percentage of the charge. It is your responsibility to pay any deductible, coinsurance, or any balance not paid by your insurance.
To control billing costs, payment is requested at the time services are rendered.
The patient and/or responsible party agrees to pay:
- Interest at 1½% per month
- All collection costs
- Reasonable attorney fees
on balances more than 30 days past the date of service.
To determine liability for payment and obtain reimbursement, I authorize disclosure of portions of my medical record.
I assign all dental benefits to:
Wladimir Gedeon, DDS
This assignment remains in effect until revoked by me in writing.
A photocopy of this assignment shall be considered as valid as the original.
I understand that I am financially responsible for all charges whether or not paid by insurance.
I authorize the practice to obtain a credit report if my account is referred for collections.
I understand all procedures performed are medically necessary and waive any defense to the contrary.
If paying by major credit card, a 3% service fee will be charged.
