Insurance Information
Our insurance coordinators deal with many different insurance companies. Some companies offer many different dental benefit plans. These companies can change benefits, co-pays, and deductibles many times throughout the year. We do our best to provide you with accurate coverage estimates based on information available to us. At times, it is almost impossible to accurately estimate a patient’s insurance co-payment. Many insurance companies will not give out fees until after the treatment is completed. Dealing with these companies can be difficult and time-consuming. As a courtesy, we ask that you keep us informed of any change to your insurance. It is important that all information about you and your insurance is current.
Although we will gladly file a claim on your behalf, you may wish to submit the claim yourself. In general, insurers process claims filed directly by patients faster than those filed by the service providers (dental offices).
Co-Payment
The majority of dental plans reimburse a range of percentages of treatment costs. With this in mind, we will discuss your portion of your fee prior to rendering treatment.
Private & Group Dental Benefit Plans
As a courtesy to our patients with dental benefit plans, we will submit necessary claim forms, receipts, and other information to the company providing your benefits.
Upon receipt of an insurance payment, any balance due will be billed to you. If you have deposited an excessive co-payment, it will be refunded to you.
