For our patients with dental insurance, our professional services are rendered to you, not to your insurance company. Therefore, you are directly responsible to us for payment of treatment. As a courtesy, we do accept the assignment of benefit payments from most insurance companies. This will reduce your immediate out-of-pocket expenditures. We will do our utmost to help you derive the maximum benefits to which you are entitled.
The insurance estimates we give you are based on limited information obtained from your insurance company. We allow 45 days for your insurance company to make payment. After this time, all inquiries or follow-ups on payments due become your responsibility.
