Information for Our Patients with Insurance
It is such a pleasure having you as a part of our dental
family! We will never take for granted the fact that you
have chosen us to care for your dental needs. We have made
every effort to make your dental visits with us as comfortable
as possible, and taking a tremendous amount of pride in providing
the finest quality dental care available.
We are pleased that many of you have a dental insurance
policy that will help supplement the cost of your needed
dental treatment. We will do everything we can to help
maximize your benefits. Unfortunately, with the insurance
industry changing so dramatically, we have found that maximizing
patient benefits under many plans can be very challenging!
Our office administrators have spent many hours studying
to become knowledgeable and familiar with the different insurance
companies, and there subtleties. Unfortunately, the
companies continue to change their policies regarding benefits,
are often difficult to work with, and do everything they
can to delay treatment and payments.
Our goal in this practice is to provide the very highest
quality dental treatment available at an exceptional value. Unfortunately,
insurance companies make money by paying only the very cheapest
alternative, disregarding what is in the patient's
best interest! Very frequently, they will disregard
what we diagnose, utilizing X-rays and a thorough clinical
exam, just to decrease the benefit for use and increase the
profit for them. Usually, this results in numerous
phone calls and letters by our insurance administrator just
to try to get them to re-evaluate our recommendation and
pay for what is needed.
It has been the policy of some other dental offices to accept
the insurance companies recommended treatment, which is diagnosed without ever
seeing the patient! This compromises your care,
and this is where we feel we must draw the
line! We refuse to compromise, in any way, the state-of-the-art,
quality care for patients deserve and receive through our
diagnosis and treatment.
As a courtesy, we will submit the insurance
paperwork for you. We request that you pay your predetermined
co-payment or patient portion at the time of service. When
your insurance company pays us, any difference or remaining
balance will be your responsibility.
Remember, we are here for you and take it very seriously
when we are asked to compromise treatment just so the insurance
company can make more money.
We thank you for your cooperation and continued
support!
