Financial Policy
We are committed to providing you with excellent care. Our financial
arrangements are based on an open and honest discussion of recommended treatment options, respective fees and patients’ financial capabilities.
Payment Payment in full is due at the time of service unless prior financial arrangements are made. We offer several payment options:
.....• Cash
.....• Checks
.. ..• Visa, MasterCard
.....• Pre-payment discounts
.....• Monthly payment plans in accordance with the office credit guidelines
Insurance Our office is committed to helping patients maximize their benefits. Because insurance policies vary greatly, we can estimate your coverage in good faith but cannot guarantee it. As a service to our patients, we will be happy to manage all claim submission and follow up on your behalf. After your treatment services have been submitted, please allow up to 30 days to receive your direct reimbursement from your insurance company. If you have any questions, our courteous staff is always available to answer them.
Minors Payment for services for the treatment of minors can be made by check, cash, or credit card and is the responsibility of the adult accompanying that minor.
Missed Appointments Once an appointment has been made, that time is reserved specifically for you. We reserve the right to charge a fee for all canceled or missed appointments without 24 hours notice.
Payment Schedules Schedules can be arranged to accommodate a patient's needs.
Service Charges If a payment schedule has not been arranged, it is the policy of this office to charge 1% interest monthly (12% annual percentage rate) or a billing charge to all accounts over 90 days past due. There will also be a $40 fee for returned checks.
Collection Fees Fees incurred to collect payment will be billed to and are payable by the patient’s account holder.
