Your First Few Visits | Appointments | Financial Considerations
| Cost The cost of treatment depends on the severity of the individual's problem. We never want finances to prevent you from getting the necessary treatment you and your family need. We will discuss fees and payment options before treatment begins. We do what we can to make orthodontics affordable. Fees In an effort to keep orthodontic fees within reason while maintaining the highest level of professional care, we have established the following financial policy:
It is important to remember that your individualized payment schedule is not synchronized with the frequency of visits for adjustments. Insurance If you have orthodontic insurance, we will help you determine the coverage you have available by providing you a "Predetermination of Benefits" form. Please remember that professional care is provided to you, the patient, and not to an insurance company. Hence, our patients pay for their treatment directly to us and then are reimbursed from the insurance company. We do not accept payments from the insurance company directly. Most plans do not pay for the entire cost of your orthodontic care. There may be a deductible clause, a dollar limit and excluded services. In the event you do not receive the benefits you believe you are entitled to from your insurance carrier, contact your employer's benefit department, your insurance representative or your union agent. |
