MEDICAL PLAN INFORMATION

Whom may we thank for referring you?

Patient Responsibilities: We are committed to providing you with the best possible care and helping you achieve your optimum oral health. Toward these goals, we would like to explain your financial and scheduling responsibilities with our practice.

Payment: Payment is due at the time services are rendered. Financial arrangements are discussed during the initial visit and a financial agreement is completed in advance of performing any treatment with our practice. We accept the following forms of payment MASTERCARD, VISA, DISCOVER, CASH, CHECK. *Please note: If you elect to apply for third-party financing, administered through our practice, we are required by law to provide you with a Credit for Dental Services Notice.

Dental Benefit Plans: Your dental benefit is a contract between you or your employer and the dental benefit plan. Benefits and payments received are based on the terms of the contract negotiated between you or your employer and the plan. We are happy to help our patients with dental benefit plans to understand and maximize their coverage.
Our practice IS / IS NOT (circle one) a contracted provider with your dental benefit plan.

If we are a contracted provider with your plan, you are responsible only for your portion of the approved fee as determined by your plan. We are required to collect the patient’s portion (deductible, co-insurance, co-pay, or any amount not covered by the dental benefit plan) in full at time of service. If our estimate of your portion is less than the amount determined by your plan, the amount billed to you will be adjusted to reflect this.

If we are not a contracted provider with your dental benefit plan, it is the patient’s responsibility to verify with the plan whether the plan allows patients to receive reimbursement for services from out-of-network providers. If your plan allows reimbursement for services from out-of-network providers, our practice can file the claim with your plan and receive reimbursement directly from the plan if you “assign benefits” to us. In this circumstance, you are responsible and will be billed for any unpaid balance for services rendered upon receipt of payment from the plan to our practice, even if that amount is different than our estimated patient portion of the bill. If you choose to not “assign benefits” to our practice, you are responsible for filing claims and obtaining reimbursement directly from your dental benefit plan and will be responsible for payment to our practice before or at the time of service.

Scheduling of Appointments: We reserve the doctor and hygienist’s time on the schedule for each patient procedure and are diligent about being on-time. Because of this courtesy, when a patient cancels an appointment, it impacts the overall quality of service we are able to provide. To maintain the utmost service and care, we do require 48-hour notice to reschedule an appointment. With less than 48-hour notice, a fee of $50 or deposit to reserve the appointment time again, may be required. To serve all of our patients in a timely manner, we may need to reschedule an appointment if a patient is fifteen minutes late or more arriving to our practice. To reschedule an appointment due to late arrival, a fee of $50 or deposit to reserve the appointment time again, may be required.
