Payment Options
Dental Insurance: Our Office is happy to help you file your insurance to receive the dental benefits that you and your employer are paying premiums for. Dental benefit plans can vary from company to company with different procedures covered or not covered. Insurance companies base the amounts that they will pay toward your dental treatment on restricted fee schedules related to premium payments and geographical location. In other words, your insurance plan will pay only what it allows for each service, regardless of what the actual fee might be. Deductibles and co-payments are typically built in to most plans and their required payment is strictly regulated by state law. Both our office and you as the policy beneficiary can be prosecuted if deductibles and co-payments are not collected. Your Employee Benefits Director can usually help you become familiar with your plan and its restrictions, and our office will assist you in maximizing your benefits.
Patient Responsibilities:
- To pay fees not covered by your plan at the time of treatment
- To provide our office with the necessary information concerning your insurance coverage to allow correct filing of claims.
- To understand that your plan is a contract between you and your employer and the insurance carrier. Our office will do all we can to facilitate claims payment, but we do not have the power to make your plan pay.
- To pay any account balance not paid by insurance after two billing attempts. We thank you for choosing our office and will do all we can to help you obtain the benefits you deserve.
Our office is considered a fee for service practice. We accept all forms of insurance. However, our office maintains no contractual agreement with any insurance company or third party payer except for Delta Dental Premier Plans. This means that we are considered an “out of network” provider. As a courtesy and to best assist our patients, we will always submit claims and prior authorizations when appropriate as well as appeal any claims on behalf of the patient when necessary. Patients are responsible for all balances not covered by their insurance. We will follow up and do whatever we can to help you access the benefits you deserve.
Forms of Payment You may choose from a variety of payment options at Sundet Dental and Facial Aesthetics PLLC: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, personal check or cash. Please make note that payments are due the day of service, unless otherwise arranged.
