About Our Practice

Financial Policy

Thank you for choosing us as your health care provider.  We are committed to providing you exceptional endodontic care and service.  The following is a statement of our Financial Policy.  We respectfully request you read this information carefully before you begin treatment.  To expedite confirmation of insurance coverage, please have all necessary insurance information ready for review.

We participate in many Insurance Provider Networks.  Call us to find out if we are in yours. 

Even if we do not participate in your Insurance Network, you may have out-of-network coverage.  We have found that out-of-network insurance plans pay approximately 60% of our fee, sometimes more, sometimes less depending upon your coverage.  For this reason it is necessary to pay 40% of the charge at the time of service with either a check or credit card.   As an added service to our patients, we will call the insurance company to verify coverage.  Further, we will hold the check or card authorization for 30 days, the standard waiting period for insurance reimbursement. Insurance is a contract between you and your insurance company.   We are not a party to that contract.  We will file your claim but we cannot be involved in disputes relating to your payments of benefits.  You are responsible for payment in full regardless of any insurance company’s arbitrary determination of usual and customary rates.  We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
