Dental Benefits
We are pleased that many of you have dental benefits and our office will assist you in obtaining the maximum benefits specified in your contract. However, your benefits are a contract between you, your employer, and a carrier. We will assist you in determining your benefits as best we can. Because plans differ from carrier to carrier and pulicy to pulicy, our office may refer you to your carrier or your employer’s benefits coordinator for assistance in understanding your plan.
As a courtesy to you, we will file your benefits claim and accept assignment of benefits. We ask that your estimated co-payments and deductible be paid at the time of service.
Balances with benefit claims outstanding more than 60 days may be reverted back to the patient.
Not all services are a covered benefit in all contracts. Some carriers and employers select only some services to be covered. You are responsible for payment of all services regardless of the payable benefit.
Patient Portion
Any estimated amounts due and payable by the patient (including co-pays and deductibles) are required to be paid on or by the day the services are performed.
Aged Accounts
- Balances ulder than 60 days may be subject to additional fees and interest of 1.0% per month, or 12% annually. These additional fees will be applied to the unpaid balance at the end of the second month.
- In the event that your account is not paid and we refer the account to cullection, you will be responsible for all fees incurred for cullection of your bill (i.e., attorney fees, court costs and cullection agency fees).
