Filing Claims on Your Behalf
As a courtesy to our patients, we submit all dental insurance claims for you. However, we are not a preferred provider with any insurance network. Because of this, your insurance may process treatment at reduced or “out-of-network” rates. You are responsible for the full fees associated with your care.
If an insurance company has not issued payment after 90 days, for any reason, the remaining balance becomes the responsibility of the patient, and payment will be requested.
Treatment Recommendations & Fees
Our treatment plans and fees are based solely on the doctor’s professional evaluation and the care that is in your best interest. We do not alter or compromise recommended treatment to fit the limitations of a dental plan’s benefits.
Specialized Imaging
Our practice uses advanced 3D imaging (CT scan) to evaluate the teeth and jaw for implant placement. This technology allows us to provide the highest standard of care. Many insurance plans do not cover this procedure; however, we perform the scan when clinically necessary, regardless of benefit coverage.
Medical Insurance
We do not submit claims to medical insurance carriers unless treatment is related to an accident or injury. You are welcome to file a medical claim yourself; we will gladly provide any documentation you may need.
Pre-Approvals
We can submit a treatment plan for pre-approval when desired. However, the financial responsibility for your care is ultimately between you and our practice—not between our practice and your insurance company.
Medicare
We are not licensed to file claims with Medicare. All Medicare-related claims must be submitted by the patient.
Insurance Plans That Pay the Subscriber Directly
Certain insurance companies and plans do not send payment to out-of-network providers under any circumstances. Because all reimbursements from these plans are sent directly to the subscriber, payment will be requested at the time of service.
