In return, we ask that patients make every effort not to change reserved dental appointments. When appointments are missed or little notice is given, other patients who need appointments have to wait. Also, missed or broken appointments interfere with your dental treatment. If an appointment needs to be changed, we require a 24- Hour notice so that we may accommodate other patients. A charge will be applied to broken or missed appointments without 24-hour notification. We appreciate, and thank you for your cooperation.

Thank you for selecting us as your dental health provider! The following information describes our updated office Financial Policy. Our primary goal is that you receive the optimal treatment needed to restore and maintain your dental health. Therefore, if you have any questions or concerns about our financial policies, please do not hesitate to ask us.
Payment for treatment is due at the time services are rendered. We accept cash, personal checks (with a driver's license), and for your convenience MasterCard, Visa, Discover and American Express. Our office also offers interest free options for extensive treatment plans. Our office will file your insurance claims for you as a courtesy.
1) Your insurance policy is a contract between you, your employer, and your insurance company. Our financial relationship is with you, not your insurance company.
2) All charges are your responsibility. Not all services are covered benefits. Some insurance policies may downgrade certain services they will not cover. Estimated co-payments are calculated based upon coverage information provided to us by your insurance company.
3) Fees for these services, along with unpaid deductibles and co-payments are due at the time of treatment.
4) Any outstanding claims 60 days and over will be patient's responsibility to pay until the claim is resolved.
5) Balances 90 days and older including missed appointment fees may be subject to additional collection fees and finance charges of 25% of the total unpaid balance. A $30 finance charge will be applied for returned checks.
6) It is the sole responsibility of the patient to maintain student status with their insurance company. If a claim is denied because of student status not being verified, our financial policy stated above will take effect.
We understand that temporary financial problems may affect timely payments of your balance. We encourage you to communicate any such issues so that we may assist you in the management of your account.
Again, thank you for choosing Elegant Smiles of Sea Girt, LLC as your dental provider. We appreciate your confidence in us and the opportunity to serve you.
I have read the above stated office and Financial Policies and I understand that I am responsible for payment of all dental services.
We strongly urge you to familiarize yourself with the benefits and exclusions in your insurance contract. This information can be found in your insurance booklet, or by calling the phone number on your insurance card. As we deal with virtually hundreds of different insurance carriers and each has its own individual clauses, our practice cannot guarantee all services provided will be covered. Payment for those services rejected or not covered are the responsibility of the patient or guarantor.
