Payment Plans To Fit Your Situation
We are committed to keeping our services affordable and to working
with you in determining payment arrangements. Our financial
co-ordinator will be glad to work with you to find a payment plan that fits
your particular situation and to discuss possible payment options that are
best suited to your needs. |

Insurance
In order for us to bill your insurance claim correctly, we must have all
complete billing information. Your insurance policy is a contract between
you and your insurance company. We are not a party to that contract. We will
provide filing as a courtesy to our patients. We allow a 45 day grace
period for all insurance claim payments to arrive. After the grace period,
any unpaid balance will be billed to the patient. All unpaid balances will
remain the responsibility of the patient. Please be aware that some, and
perhaps all, of the services provided may be considered non-covered
services.
THE PAYMENT SCHEDULES OF INDIVIDUAL INSURANCE COMPANIES VARY AND ARE BEYOND
OUR CONTROL. TO INSURE FEES REMAIN LOW, ALL CO-PAYS AND DEDUCTIBLES WILL BE EXPECTED
AND REQUIRED AT TIME OF SERVICE AND TREATMENT. |

Important Dental Insurance
Information For Our Patients
Our goal is to assist you in maximizing your benefits. We care for patients
from many different insurance companies and each employer pays an insurance
premium for specific coverage. Each plan is slightly different in its
covered services. We encourage you to become familiar with your policy
exclusions, deductible and required co-payments. |

Our
Expectations Of You As The Policy Owner
1. Payment of fees
not covered by your insurance plan at the time the service is delivered.
2. Understanding
that the insurance policy belongs to you and we have no leverage to obtain
payment from your insurance carrier.
3. Realizing that
dental insurance policies restrict payment for some services, use restricted
fee schedules (called Usual and Customary Rates) and exclude some procedures
based on prior conditions or length of time on the plan. All restrictions
are based on the premium paid for insurance not our fees or recommended
treatment.
4. Taking
responsibility for payment if the insurance company does not pay our office
within 60 days.
5. Keeping our
office informed of any changes in your insurance coverage or employment.

Usual and Customary Fees
Our practice is committed to providing the best treatment for our patients.
We charge what is usual and customary for our area. You are responsible for
payment regardless of any insurance company's arbitrary determination of
usual and customary.
