Financial Information
Our fees are fair, reasonable and competitive. Payment is due at the time treatment is provided. We accept cash, personal and business checks, as well as Visa and Mastercard.
If we participate with your insurance plan, your estimated co-payment is due at the time of treatment. Our office staff can provide you with the approximate fee for treatment before your surgery appointment. Please remember you are fully responsible for all fees for treatment regardless of your insurance coverage.
If you have questions regarding your account, please contact the office by phone where you had your initial consultation appointment (answering questions requires access to the patient chart which is most likely stored in the office where the initial consultation occurred).
Billing process:
Patients with an unpaid balance will receive a monthly statement. Most insurance company payments are received within four to six weeks after treatment and patient accounts are updated to reflect payment. Please call our office if your monthly billing statement does not accurately reflect insurance payments. Any remaining balance after insurance payments is your responsibility. Your prompt remittance is appreciated.
For accounts with unpaid balances, a billing fee of $5.00 per statement will be charged starting with the third billing statement.
If your account is unpaid for more than sixty days, a monthly service charge of 1.5% per month (18.5% per year) will be added to the balance. If the account is not paid within five billing cycles, or a payment plan agreement made, the account will be turned over to a collection service. Accounts in collection incur a 30% collection fee, plus any attorney’s fees and court costs.
If, at any time, you have a question about your account, or billing process or policies, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
