Insurance Information

• Our office prides ourselves on working together with our patients to aggressively pursue the maximum reimbursement from dental insurance plans.
• Insurance companies have made filing of claims for dental services increasingly complex and the process can be very confusing. Dental coverage differs from medical coverage with regard to yearly deductibles and yearly maximums along with applicable co-pays for dental treatment.
• We will do our utmost to keep you as informed as possible regarding your dental coverage, however, the contract for coverage is between you, your employer and the insurance company. We encourage all patients to keep well informed regarding their insurance and individual policies concerning coverage.
• Our office will file claims for treatment when applicable and provide insurance companies with all necessary documentation to ensure that your claims receive the highest level of compensation within the guidelines of your plan.
• Applicable co-pays are expected for treatment as it is performed. This co-pay is an estimate only as the final coverage from insurance is not certain until payment has actually been received fro the claim. Some insurance plans base the amount of benefit on a schedule of fees arbitrarily developed by your employer. The final amount owed directly by you may vary from the plan description or any pre-estimate of benefits. For example, if your plan compensates periodontal services at 80%, it is 80% of the fee contracted by your employer and/or set forth by the insurance company, which may differ from the actual fee charged by our practice.
•  Although we will always be aware of your financial situation with regard to any insurance and coverage, please keep in mind that we treat our patients according to what is in their best interest and not what is dictated by insurance.
