Financial Policy

We are committed to providing you with the highest quality of dental care utilizing only the best materials and education available. To continue to provide excellent service to you and minimize our administrative costs, payment is due at the time service is provided. Any other financial arrangements must be made in advance.

Our office accepts cash, personal checks, and all major credit cards.

If you are covered by dental insurance we will be happy to submit claims for you as a courtesy. We do pre-authorize needed services in advance in order that patients may understand their policies more clearly. An estimate will be given to you, on the understanding that it is but a guideline from which to work until final payment is received from your insurance company and your exact share of the bill is known. Often, these payments are not received from your insurance company until thirty to sixty days after being submitted for payment. Therefore, we do ask that you pay your estimated share of treatment as treatment is rendered. If your insurance company has not made a payment to our office within 60 days, we may ask you pay the balance due at that time. You should then seek reimbursement from your insurance company.

Patients should realize that professional services are rendered to a person, and not to an insurance company. Thus, the insurance company is responsible to the patient, and the patient is responsible to the doctor. We cannot render services on the assumption that the charges will be paid for by an insurance company. However, we will help in every way that we can in filing your claims, handling insurance queries, processing follow-ups, lost claims, etc. from our office on your behalf.

We are here to help. No question is too small for you to ask us about, whether it be regarding your treatment, insurance or bill. Please call us at (859) 277-6234 if you have any questions or would like to discuss payment options.
