Patient Information

Radiographs (X-Rays)

Dental X-rays are an important tool that are used to detect problems that are not visible during a regular dental exam, such as cavities between teeth, bone loss, impacted teeth, and abscesses. We use the latest digital radiography to safely and comfortably take a series of x-rays.

It is of utmost importance that your prior dental x-rays, are in our office before your new examination by Dr. Goding. If no x-rays are received, please be prepared for our staff to take new x-rays, which may be at your expense. It is your responsibility to ensure we receive the x-rays.

To avoid cancellation or rescheduling of your appointment, the completed New Patient Forms and prior x-rays MUST be in our office before your scheduled appointment. We encourage you to contact your previous dental office regarding the timely transfer of your x-rays to our office.

Please complete the information in the section below and request x-rays be emailed to our office at info@pinelanddentistry.com. If no x-rays are available, please check "None Available." Note: You will be redirected to our Release of Records form after completing this

Financial Policy Acknowledgement

We are committed to providing you with the best possible dental care. Our fees reflect our professional commitment to excellence. In order to achieve these goals, we need your assistance and understanding of our financial policy.

For the convenience of our patients, we offer the following methods of payment: (1) payment in full by cash or check, (2) Visa, Mastercard, & Discover and (3) Care Credit, a third-party financing company, which offers interest-free payment plans.

If you have dental insurance, we are happy to help you receive your maximum allowable benefits. However, it is important for you to realize the following:

(1) your dental insurance policy is a contract between your employer and the dental insurance carrier. Pineland Family Dentistry is not a part of that contract.

(2) While we are happy to investigate your insurance benefits and file claims on your behalf, you are ultimately responsible for understanding your insurance benefits prior to treatment.

(3) We do accept the assignment of benefits from your insurance which authorizes your insurance company to issue payment directly to Pineland Family Dentistry on your behalf.

(4) Prior to any treatment, you will be provided with an estimate of how much we expect the insurance to pay and how much your anticipated out of pocket will be. We will collect your anticipated out of pocket expense at the time of service.

(5)Balances due to insurance denials are the patient's responsibility regardless of the reason for the denial.

(6) If the insurance company does not pay for your treatment in a reasonable period of time, (more than two months), the patient is responsible for paying the remaining balance. All credits, if any, will be returned to the patient upon receipt of payment from the insurance company.

(7) Please be aware that when bringing in a minor for treatment, the parent or guardian bringing the child in is responsible for any payment due for the child that day.

Financial Charges: All returned checks are subject to a $35.00 fee.

Past Due Accounts: Account balances over 60 days are subject to a $20 billing fee and a 1.5% finance charge.

Reserved Appointment Policy

We greatly value you and your commitment to excellent dental health. In order to care for you effectively, we ask that you pre-schedule your next preventative visit prior to leaving the office to ensure that you stay on track with your necessary dental treatment. These semi-annual or quarterly “cleanings” will help to prevent the need for further, more invasive, and costly dental treatments. It is imperative that you stay on schedule for this routine, preventative care.

When we schedule appointments for patients in this office, we are very careful to allow a generous amount of time for each of our patients with both the doctor and the hygienist. The time allowed is very important for you to receive the individualized care that you deserve. The appointment time is reserved for patients who are committed to completing their necessary dentistry. To be fair to all our patients, we require a notice of two business days if you need to change (reschedule) your appointment for an urgent reason. Because we preschedule our patients six months in advance, it is difficult to get you back into the schedule in a short period of time. Therefore, we ask that when you commit to a time, you make it a priority in your schedule.

As a courtesy, we offer reminder calls, emails, and text messages in advance of your appointment. All these options are available to you. Let us know if you prefer one over another and we will do our best to accommodate you. When you receive these reminders, it is important for you to follow the directions provided and confirm your appointment. Please understand that an appointment is ultimately a reservation with the doctor and/or hygienist. We ask that you do all you can to arrange your schedule in a way that will enable you to be here for your appointed time. A No Show/Late Cancellation is defined as a failed appointment.

We do understand that sometimes things come up that are beyond your control and you may not be able to be here for your reserved time. Consideration will be given for extenuating circumstances that do not allow you to give the required two business day notice. We reserve the right to "charge or waive" a fee ($50.00) for the first failed/cancelled appointment without the required notification. Any subsequent failed or missed appointments without the two-business day notification will incur a charge (equal to the cost of services that were to be provided), additionally a credit card may be required to schedule all future appointments.

Please acknowledge below that you understand our Financial Policy Acknowledgement, Reserved Appointment Policy, and Notice of Privacy Practices.
