Insurance

Our office staff is always available to help you with insurance claims and paperwork. We’ll work with your insurance provider to make sure your coverage meets your needs and your budget.

As a service to our patients, our practice accepts most dental insurance programs, including non-managed care, indemnity (traditional) and PPO networks. We are not part of any managed care network. Our staff will prepare all the necessary forms for your dental benefits. However, we remind you that your specific policy is an agreement between you and your insurance company. Please keep in mind that you are responsible for your total obligation should your insurance benefits result in less coverage than anticipated.

Our staff will gladly submit a pre-treatment estimate to your insurance company so that you will know what your benefits will be. The fees charged for services rendered to those who are insured are the usual and customary fees charged to all our patients for similar services. Your policy may base its allowances on a fixed fee schedule, which may or may not coincide with our usual fees. You should be aware that different insurance companies vary greatly in the types of coverage available.

Dental insurance is intended to cover some, but not all of the cost of your dental care. Most plans include coinsurance provisions, a deductible, and certain other expenses, which must be paid by the patient at the time services are rendered. Reimbursement amounts are not, and never should be, a guideline for quality care. Our office does accept assignment of insurance benefits after verification. We accept traditional and some PPO plans, but no DMOs. Each patient accepts the responsibility for payment in full, for services rendered including those fees not covered by insurance. Patient co-payments are due at the time of service.

Out-of-Network does not mean we cannot be your dentist. We file out of network benefits for nearly all insurances and we will be happy to file claims for all out of network patients.
