Financial Information

Financial Arrangements

We are committed to providing you with the best possible care. If you have medical insurance, we pledge to help you receive your maximum allowable benefits. In order to achieve these goals, we need your assistance and understanding of our payment policy.

Financial Arrangements Available

Option A: Payment in full at time of service

• Payment is expected at the time of treatment in the form of cash, check, or credit card.

Option B: Coverage by medical or dental insurance

• The fee for the consultation and/or procedure is due in full at the time of your appointment.
• If you want to know in advance how much of your fee the insurance will cover, we will be happy to submit a pre-estimate request to your insurance company. Once the insurance company answers as to what portion of your treatment they will cover and for how much, you will then know approximately how much money you can expect from your insurance company, minus any deductible which may apply. You will still have to pay our office for your services in full, but we will submit the insurance paperwork on your behalf and ask the insurance company to send the check directly to you.

Option C: Financing treatment fees or balances

• Patients wishing to finance fees may be eligible for commercial financing. Please request details from our staff.

We will gladly discuss your proposed treatment and answer any questions relating to your insurance. You must realize however that:

• Your insurance is a contract between you, your employer and the insurance company. We are not a party to that contract.
• Not all services are covered benefits in all contracts. Some insurance companies arbitrarily select certain services they will not cover.
• We must emphasize that as medical care providers, our relationship is with you, not your insurance company. While the filing of insurance claims is a courtesy that we extend to our patients, all charges are your responsibility from the date the services are rendered. We realize that temporary financial problems may affect timely payment of your account. If such problems do arise, we encourage you to contact us promptly for the assistance in the management of your account.
