Fees
In an effort to keep orthodontic fees down while maintaining the highest level of professional care, we offer the following payment policy:
- If payment is made in full at the beginning of treatment, we offer a fee discount.
If you have insurance, we offer the discount on your portion of the fee that is not covered by insurance.
- To fit your individual needs, financial arrangements can be made to extend your payments over a period of months.
- For your convenience we accept ALL MAJOR CREDIT CARDS and can automatically charge your account each month.
Insurance
If you have insurance coverage for orthodontics, we will be happy to assist you in determining the benefits available to you and your family.
- Your orthodontic insurance plan may have eligibility requirements. Some plans have age limits or waiting periods before coverage can begin.
- If the insured changes employers or if the insurance coverage changes, benefits may also change or be discontinued.
- Insurance plans offer different levels of benefits. Orthodontic benefits are not the same as your dental benefits.
- Usually there is a lifetime maximum benefit although some plans may renew yearly.
- Total orthodontic benefits are rarely paid in one payment. Partial payments are received throughout the course of treatment until the maximum benefit is paid.
- We will accept assignment of benefits from your insurance plan and receive payments on your behalf. If no assignment is made, we will be happy to file claims so that the insured can be reimbursed directly.
- Professional care is provided to you, our patient, and not the insurance company. Therefore, the insurance company is responsible to you and you are responsible to the doctor.
