Payment Policy
We work very hard to control the cost of dental care. It is part of our philosophy that quality care should be available to everyone. Our first rule of thumb: before any work is performed, we will sit down together and go over our estimate of charges—every detail.
We accept and offer the following methods of payment:
1) 5% courtesy discount: Enjoy a 5% savings for payment in full when the treatment plan is presented (cash, check, credit card)
2) Credit cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover are all acceptable forms of payment.
3) Check payments: Any payment made via check is electronically debited from your checking account. The check, coupled with a driver’s license / ID of the check holder is needed to complete the transaction. Your check will be voided and returned to you immediately for your records and the transaction will be found within the debit portion of your bank statement. Because a withdrawal is being made from your checking account, you are subject to a NSF fee should funds not be available.
4) ½ and ½ option: This option is applicable on major work that requires lab involvement. ½ of your payment is due when scheduling the appointment and the other ½ is due at your appointment date.
5) Insurance plans: We will process your dental claims for your electronically; however, your established co-payment and deductibles are due when, or before, treatment is rendered – depending upon lab involvement.
6) Alternative financing: Our office provides up to 12 months interest free financing upon approval and payment plans with interest range up to 60 months.
It is your responsibility to cover the balance of treatment cost or to cover the entire cost of treatment if your insurance should fail to provide coverage for any reason.
