INSURANCE, FEES & PAYMENTS We make every effort to keep down the cost of your care. Our office will verify your insurance and do our very best to provide you with an estimated out of pocket expense for any procedure or surgery that the doctor treatment plans for you. The estimated patient portion of the fee is due at the time of service. If a balance remains after we receive payment from your insurance carrier, or in the event your insurance carrier denies coverage, we will notify you. Failure of your insurance carrier to reimburse our office within 30 days will result in the billing of the balance directly to you. We are pleased to file any participating insurance dental claims on your behalf to obtain the maximum benefits specified in your contract. Your insurance is a contract between you, your employer and your insurance company. We are not a party of that contract. Not all dental services are necessarily covered under your dental insurance plan. It is essential that you read and understand your coverage and pay special attention to any preauthorization requirements, exclusions and waiting periods. Please remember that insurance is considered a method of reimbursing the patient for fees paid to the doctor and is not a substitute for payment. Some companies pay fixed allowances for certain procedures and others pay a percentage of the charge. It is your responsibility to pay any deductible amount, co-insurance or any other balance not paid for by your insurance company. You will be responsible for all collection costs, attorneys fees, and court costs.
