INSURANCE: Filling insurance is a service we provide as a courtesy for diagnostic and surgical procedures. You are asked to assign benefits to us for services rendered. In the event that the insurance company sends a check to you for services, we ask that you immediately send the check to our business office.
Insurance companies may set fees which are below our customary charges. In this event, the patient is obligated for the full amount billed. PLEASE REMEMBER YOUR DENTAL INSURANCE IS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND THE INSURANCE CARRIER. We are glad to assist you in collection from insurance carriers, however, the ultimate responsibility is yours.
If your insurance company requires an annual deductible, this amount must be paid before any basic and/or major services are rendered. While we estimate your payment at the time services are rendered, the insurance company may or may not pay the remaining portion. In the event your insurance company does not pay its estimated portion, you will be responsible for the balance due.
IF TREATMENT IS NECESSARY, A $200.00 DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED WHEN APPOINTMENT IS SCHEDULED
BILLING: Even though an insurance claim has been filed, you will receive a statement each month indicating your current balance. Often times this will reflect a balance prior to insurance reimbursement. Balances become past due at 90 days and a 1.5% monthly finance charge will be added to your current balance.
Our office offers a no-interest patient payment plan available through CARE CREDIT. (Offer is subject to Credit Approval). Please see the office manager for an application or apply online at: carecredit.com
We accept VISA, MASTERCARD, AMERICAN EXPRESS, DISCOVER, CASH, and PERSONAL CHECKS. There will be a $35.00 service charge on all returned checks. PLEASE BE ADVISED PAYMENTS ARE DUE AT THE TIME SERVICES ARE RENDERED.
Our purpose is to deliver the best dental care available. We appreciate your time in reading our policies and hope you understand the need for stating these. You are asked to sign below to indicate that our billing policy has been read. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to direct them to our business office.

knowingly and willingly consent to have dental treatment completed during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
I understand the COVID-19 virus has a long incubation period during which carries of the virus may not show symptoms and still be highly contagious. It is impossible to determine who has it and who does not given the current limits in virus testing.
Dental procedure creates water spray. It is unclear as to how long the ultra-fine nature of the spray may linger in the air, which can transmit the COVID-19 virus.
I confirm that I am not presenting any of the following symptoms of COVID-19 listed below:
I understand that air travel significantly increases my risk of contracting and transmitting the COVID-19 virus. The CDC recommends social distancing of at least 6 feet for a period of 14 days; however, this is not possible with dentistry due to dental procedures.
