Our insurance coordinators deal with many different insurance companies. Some companies offer many different dental plans. These companies can change benefits and deductibles many times throughout the year. We do our best to provide you with accurate coverage estimates based on information available to us. At times, it is almost impossible to accurately estimate our patients' insurance payment. Many insurance companies will not give out fees until after the treatment is completed. Dealing with these companies can be difficult and time consuming. As a courtesy, we ask that you keep us informed of any change to your insurance. It is important that all information about you and your insurance is current.
Although we will gladly file your claim on your behalf, you may wish to submit the claim yourself. In general, insurers process claims filed directly by patients faster than those filed by the service providers (dental offices).
Further, most dental insurance policies are limited and often only pay for a portion of the procedure(s) that may need to be done. We will always strive to give you the most ideal treatment plan options for your long term dental health. Due to the fact that our services are sometimes considered "specialist services", our treatment plan fees will not always fall into an insurance company’s allowable amount; therefore our office does not participate in PPO or HMO plans. Without that limitation, you can be ensured that your treatment plan will not be dictated by or limited to what an individual insurance policy considers an allowable amount.

As a courtesy to our patients dental benefit plans, we will submit necessary claim forms, receipts, and other information to your insurance company, but please be reminded that consultation fees are due at the time of the initial visit and in turn we will ask your insurance company to reimburse you directly.
