If we only provide Endodontic Evaluation (Limited Evaluation, Consultation):
This consists of an examination and testing, discussing the likelihood of maintaining the tooth and treatment options available to you. Payment is due at the time of service. Insurance does not always pay for consultations, so we can submit charges and have the insurance company reimburse you.
If we provide Treatment:
Those without dental insurance: Payment is due at time of service. There is a 5% discount for paying in full on day of service by cash or check. Discount does not apply to credit cards or Care Credit. If you wish to use a financing option we do accept Care Credit in our office.
Those with dental insurance: All copays and deductibles are due at time of service. We will verify your insurance coverage (usually between 50 and 80%) and estimate your portion; this copay is required at time of service. We will then bill your insurance for you. Please keep in mind however; insurance companies routinely indicate that coverage verification is not an exact guarantee of payment. You also have the option of paying for the treatment in full and receiving a 5% discount and having your insurance company reimburse you directly, we will do the insurance submission for you.
* If your insurance pays more than the estimated amount, a refund check from this office will be mailed within 1 week from the date payment is received in this office. We usually mail out reimbursements daily.
* If your insurance pays less than the estimated amount, you will receive a statement from this office. Payment is due in full within 15 days of statement date. We usually do not send monthly statements so prompt attention is greatly appreciated!
NOTE: If your insurance company does not reimburse us after 2 submissions, you will be responsible for the remainder of the balance since we were unable to collect from them.
If our office has to send more than one bill, you will be charged a monthly billing fee until balance is paid in full.
