Insurance Policy
Payment in full is expected at the time of treatment. Patients with dental insurance must provide accurate and complete insurance information. We will be happy to file for your insurance benefits as a courtesy to you, but we are not obligated to do so.
Our relationship is with you and not your dental insurance company. Your dental insurance is a contract between your employer and the insurance company. The percentage covered for each procedure is determined by how much your employer has paid for coverage.
We provide our patients with the finest treatment available and base our treatment recommendations on what will be best for your child rather than what your insurance company does or doesn’t pay. Our primary goal is to provide your child with the best possible treatment in a safe environment, using high quality supplies and medications. Unfortunately, the goal of many insurance companies is only to treat patients in the cheapest manner, not necessarily the safest or most effective.
At the initial appointment, you will be responsible for your portion of the fees not covered by your insurance for that appointment and payment is expected. Prior to completing any restorative treatment, however, we will provide you with a cost estimate of our total fee, your estimated insurance coverage, and your estimated out-of-pocket costs.
Please remember, these are only estimates and may change during the course of treatment. Sometimes, treatment alternatives become necessary for various reasons, which may increase or decrease treatment costs. Further, most insurances do not tell us exactly what they will pay, so we are only giving you our best estimate.
Our office does not determine your dental benefits. Most plans routinely pay between 50-75% of the average total fee; however, some insurance carriers will not reimburse our office. In such instances, you will be responsible for the full cost of each visit at the time services are provided, and your insurance company will send you the reimbursement check directly.
