Insurance Information
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.
We will always strive to
give you the most ideal treatment plan options for your long term dental health.
Private & group insurance
As a courtesy to our patients dental benefit plans, we will submit necessary
claim forms, receipts, and other information to your insurance company.
Upon receipt of an insurance payment, any difference in the balance will be
billed to you. If you have paid in advance, or have a credit on your account, it will
be refunded to you in a timely manner.
