Office Policies / Dental Insurance / Private Pay

We are committed to providing you with the best possible care that's why we always try to present you with the best dental solution possible to treat your personal situation. Here are some important things you should know about receiving care at our office.

Time is reserved especially for you and we strongly encourage all patients to keep their appointments. We require at least 48 hours notice to avoid a $50/hour cancellation fee (emergencies are an exception.) $100.00 fee is charged for a missed Saturday appointment.

Balances older than 60 days will be subject to a monthly $25.00 late fee until the account is brought current.

Dr. Gniadek does require payment in full, including deductible and co-payment, at the time your services are rendered unless payment arrangements have been approved in advance by our staff. We accept Cash, Check, MasterCard, Visa, Discover, American Express and Care Credit.

Once treatment has begun and then is cancelled by the patient, Dr. Gniadek reserves the right to retain a minimum of $100 of the charged fee to cover any time and materials lost.

Your dental benefits are a contract between your employer and an insurance company. If you have any questions regarding your dental befefits, please contact your employer and or insurance company directly.

We currently accept all private care insurance plans, however, we may or may not be an in-network provider for your insurance. It is YOUR responsibility to check if Dr. Gniadek is in your network upon your appointment. Although we maintain computerized histories of payment by a given company, they do change. Therefore, it is the most up to date information we have but it is ONLY AN ESTIMATE (if you would like to know your insurance benefit, we will be happy to file a "pre-treatment authorization") with your insurance company prior to treatment. Keep in mind this is not a guarantee of coverage, it does delay treatment, but will give you a better idea of out-of-pocket expenses).

We bill your insurance company as a courtesy. If insurance does not pay within 90 days, Dr. Gniadek reserves the right to request payment in full for services from you. You can collect the insurance funds that are due you. This is rare, but it is important that you recognize that the insurance you have is a legal contract between YOU and your insurance company. Our office is not and cannot be a part of that legal contract. Ultimately you are responsible for all charges incurred in our office.

In the event of a walk-in emergency during regular business hours, a $70.00 emergency fee will be charged in addition to the necessary treatment fees. Established patients will be charged a $150.00 emergency fee for after hour emergencies in addition to the necessary treatment fees.

If needed there will be a $50.00 fee for a complete copy of your dental records.

Situations of Divorce

Divorced parents bringing a child to an appointment are solely responsible for all fees incurred during each visit. Parents will not be billed separately. By initialing, you agree to pay all costs of collection (if necessary) including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fee.

I acknowledgement I have read and understand all the above conditions.
