Our office, as a courtesy,
will file dental insurance benefits for you,
however, you will be responsible for any
deductibles, co-payments, or balances not covered
by insurance. Our office will attempt to call
ahead and inform you of the estimated costs of
treatment, to avoid any surprises. All account
balances which have not been paid within a 30 day
period become due by the parent/guardian
responsible.
Insurance payment is determined by "UCR" fees
(usual, customary, and reasonable fees). These
fees are not always the same as our fees. Some
insurance companies may pay less, some pay more.
Whether your insurance pays 100%, 80%, or 50% of a
procedure, they are determining payment based on
their fee schedule, not the actual fee our office
has charged for the service.
Please keep us informed of any changes or updates
in your insurance information so that we can
continue to assist you with fast and accurate
insurance filing.
