We are committed to providing you with the best possible care and would be happy to discuss our professional fees with you at any time. Your clear understanding of our financial policy is important to our professional relationship. Please ask if you have any questions about our fees, financial policy, or your financial responsibility. If you do not have insurance, we expect payment in full for all treatment at the time of service, unless other arrangements have been previously made. We have created an online payment service.

If you have insurance, we can assist you in submitting your claim. Your insurance claim will only be completed and submitted if we are provided with all pertinent insurance company information. It is your responsibility to verify that your policy is in effect at the time your services are performed. Otherwise, you are responsible for payment at the time of service.

Insurance is an agreement between you and your insurance company. We will inform you if we are participating with your insurance plan and will handle your claim according to our agreement with the insurance company. We file insurance claims as a courtesy to you, our patient. We will not become involved in disputes between you and your insurance company regarding deductibles, co-payments, maximum limitations, covered charges, secondary insurances, “usual and customary” charges, etc., other than to supply necessary factual information. If payment is not received from your insurance company by us within a reasonable period of time, the balance of the account becomes your responsibility. I hereby authorize and agree as follows:

• I authorize the use of this information on all my insurance submissions.
• I authorize release of information to all my insurance companies.
• I understand I am responsible for my account.
• I authorize the Verber Family Dentistry team to act as my agent in helping me obtain payment from my insurance company.
• I authorize payment directly to my doctor.
• I permit a copy of this authorization to be used in place of the original.
• I understand benefit information given to me by Verber Family Dentistry is not a guarantee of payment.
• I understand that full payment of my account must be received at the time of my appointment electronically if I do not have dental insurance and any remaining balance after dental insurance must be paid within 90 days or I will be sent to a collection agency.

I have read the above Financial Policy and understand that I am financially responsible for all charges, whether or not they are paid by my insurance.
