This notice describes how your protected health information (PHI) may be used and disclosed and how you can get access to this information. We only share your information with your insurance companies, referring dentist, and general dentist. If a spouse or significant other calls for information, we may not share that information with them. If there is someone you do not want to have access to your dental records here, please give us their name in writing.

Patient Billing

We are in-network with almost all insurance companies. We emphasize that we are in-network and not just participating. A confusing statement in the dental field has been used: ” Participating with your dental insurance.” When in-network with an insurance company, you have contracted fees used to determine costs at your dental office. Participating is NOT the same as being in-network, although in-network providers do participate. If we are not in-network, you will be advised. If you choose to see an out-of-network provider, a higher copayment will be collected at the time of service.

Co-payments are the amount an insured person is expected to pay during treatment. For your convenience, we make each patient aware before their scheduled treatment appointment if any co-payments are due. We accept all major credit cards, CareCredit, and exact Cash. WE NO LONGER ACCEPT PERSONAL CHECKS. Therefore, payment is due when service is rendered unless other arrangements have been made in advance. We participate in a program called CareCredit. You can apply before your appointment at CareCredit.com and bring your 16-digit account number to your appointment.

Please remember you are fully responsible for all fees charged by this office, regardless of your insurance coverage.

If a balance is due after the insurance pays, you will be asked to pay that balance within 30 days.

The crown or restorative work at your general dentist needs to be done within 4 weeks and is a separate cost from the endodontic treatment at our office. To find out the restorative costs, contact your general dentist.

Any remaining balance after your insurance has paid is your responsibility. Your prompt remittance is appreciated. You can make a payment on your account by calling our office or mailing in a payment.
