Cost
The cost of treatment depends on the severity of the patient's problem. You will be able to discuss fees and payment options before treatment begins. We have payment plans to suit different budgets. We do not accept assignment from insurance plans, but to help you receive your benefits, we will file the necessary papers to the insurance company. We work hard to make orthodontics affordable.
Fees
In an effort to keep orthodontic fees down while maintaining the highest level of professional care, we have established this financial policy:
- If full payment is made at the onset of treatment, we will offer a 5% discount. This is also true if more than one child receives full treatment.
- To fit your individual needs, financial arrangements can be made to extend your payments over a period of months, interest-free.
- For your convenience, we accept payment by Visa, MasterCard and Discover.
Insurance Policy
Because of the variations among insurance policies, we have adopted certain procedures to streamline filings and allow you to more expediently receive your benefits. Our office policy is to not accept insurance assignment. We are more than happy to provide you with receipts so that you may file for reimbursement. Upon starting comprehensive (full braces) treatment, we will be glad to submit your form to the insurance company with all of the pertinent information. Remember, although we will submit this initial form, all monies from the insurance company will come to the employee listed on the form. In addition, you are responsible for submitting any additional receipts each month if required. Instead of monthly receipts, some companies require written verification that treatment is continuing. If you receive this form, either bring it at your next appointment or mail it to us, and we will verify it and forward it for you.
