Office Financial Policy
- Payment for services will be expected in full unless arrangements are made in advance of treatment. Payments can be made with cash, check, ATM/Debit, Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover Card. Any check returned will be assessed a return check fee of $30. In the event that a delinquent account is turned over to an outside collection agency, the patient is responsible for the collection agency’s fees.
- If financial arrangements are necessary after your initial visit, we offer a payment plan, which can be customized to suit your needs. Please advise Cindy or Tammy, and they will assist you.
- Any account with a balance remaining after 90 days will be assessed a fee of 18% annually, regardless of any outstanding insurance claims.
If you have insurance:
With your approval, we will file your insurance claims with your insurance carrier. This service is provided at no charge. You can elect to pay your balance in full and have your benefits paid directly to you or you can elect to have benefits paid to our office. If the latter is chosen, we will estimate your co-pay, due at each appointment. We reserve the right to estimate your benefits based on our previous experience.
Any balance not covered by your insurance is your responsibility. However, if at any point the insurance company or the insured becomes uncooperative, we reserve the right to terminate acceptance of benefits and collect payment directly from you.
Delta Dental Insurance: Effective 1-1-08, we require payment at the time of service on all patients with Delta Dental. We will continue to file your insurance claim for you in a timely manner and assist in any way to insure prompt reimbursement. This policy will remain in effect until such time that Delta Dental will directly reimburse us for services rendered.
