  • *If this acknowledgement is signed by a personal representative on behalf of the patient, complete the following:

  • Insurance Agreement and Consent

  • As a courtesy to our patients, we assist in filing insurance claims. This allows you to use your orthodontic benefit to lower your portion of the cost of orthodontic treatment, rather than paying the full fee up front and waiting for reimbursement from the insurance company.

     

     

  • Pecularities:

    If a peculiarity is unknown to us, or we are given incorrect or incomplete information by you or your insurance company, and it results in an underpayment of estimated benefits, any unpaid amount will become your financial responsibility and applied to your account. We can assist you in an appeal to the insurance company but ultimately the Insurance company will have the final decision.

  • CHANGE IN BENEFITS, ELIGIBILITY OR CARRIER:

    Most orthodontic insurance benefits are broken down into multiple payments that are paid over the course of the treatment.
    ⦁ At any point in treatment, if you change jobs or become ineligible for orthodontic benefits, please notify us immediately and we will average any remaining unpaid benefits into your monthly payments.
    ⦁ At any point in treatment, if your employer changes insurance carriers, you must notify us immediately. If your new policy has orthodontic benefits, we will file a claim with the new carrier as a courtesy. If this claim is denied, if the estimated remaining benefits are not paid in full, or if the new policy does not have orthodontic benefits, we will average any remaining unpaid benefits
    into your monthly payments.

     

  • INTENTIONAL OR UNINTENTIONAL WITHHOLDING OF BENEFITS:

    When benefits are assigned directly to this office, if an insurance company sends you a payment in error, you are responsible for complete reimbursement. If you receive a check from your insurance company, mail or bring it to this office. DO NOT deposit or cash it. 

     

  • Miscellaneous:

    ⦁ Since payment plans and policies vary between insurance companies, your actual insurance benefit may differ from the amount we have estimated for you. At the conclusion of treatment, ALL UNPAID INSURANCE BALANCES will become your financial responsibility, and we will hold you directly responsible for payment of the entire account before orthodontic appliances are removed.

    ⦁ Divorced or Separated Parents: if the insurance company issues a payment to the parent who is NOT financially responsible for the account, the parent who is financially responsible (signed contract) for the account will become responsible for complete reimbursement this office.

  • Consent to Assign Benefits for Insurance

    I authorize Jeffrey Kwong Orthodontics to file and request assignment of beneftis from my insurance company. I undersand that the estimated insurance is filed and collected on my behalf, however, I am ultimately responsible should the payments not be received.

  • I fully understand the conditions of this insurance agreement, and I agree to abide by the limitations set forth. I also understand that insurance billing is a courtesy to me, and that I am fincially responsible for the full treatment amount, including the estimated insurance benefit. I hereby authorize payment directly to Jeffrey Kwong Orthodontics.
