Payment & Office Policies
Financial Arrangements
In orthodontic cases, a designated fee is paid depending on the severity of the problem for the appliances and the services of the doctor. An additional fee may be incurred if treatment is extended or there is a lot of breakage to the appliances.
The initial payment is due at the placement of the appliances. Monthly payments are due on the 15th of the month. Payments will continue in the event of an extended absence, vacation, or missed appointments, since the payment schedule is a budgeting convenience for the patient and not based upon the number of appointments.
We accept assignment from some insurance plans, and we will gladly submit the necessary information to your dental insurance carrier in a timely manner so that you will receive your benefits.
Fees
Orthodontic treatment is an excellent investment in the overall dental, medical and psychological well being of children and adults. Financial considerations should not be an obstacle to obtain this important health service. Being sensitive to the fact that all people have different needs in meeting their financial obligations, we provide several different payment options.
Plan 1 – Payment in full with a 5% professional fee adjustment.
Plan 2 - Payment in 3 equal amounts within 90 days with a 3% professional fee adjustment.
Plan 3 - An initial payment (to fit your individual needs) with monthly payments extended over a period of months.
Plan 4
OFP-Orthodontists Fee Plan: No initial payment. Take up to 60 months to pay with monthly payments as low as $88, which includes a minimal finance charge.
Insurance
We are happy to cooperate with you and your insurance carrier to help you receive the maximum benefits available under your policy. However, your insurance policy is a contract between you and your insurance carrier. We will answer any questions to the best of our knowledge about your policy, but we ask that you address any questions that we cannot answer to your employer or insurance carrier. Although you have dental insurance with orthodontic coverage, you are ultimately responsible for the account.
