- A monthly payment is simply a convenient way
to spread out the cost of orthodontic treatment,
therefore, it is due even if there is not an appointment
during the month. The number of appointments
have no bearing on the fee for services rendered.
- We take Visa, Discover, and Mastercard for
your convenience. You may phone in your payments
if you like or we can make them automatically once
per month for you on your credit card. For your convenience, we work with CareCredit Patient Financing. Learn more by visiting http://carecredit.com.
- Your payment is due in our office on or before
the date that you choose on your Financial
Agreement (contract). If necessary, your due date
can be changed. A $20.00 late fee will be charged
on all payments which are ten days past due.
- Failure to adhere to the financial arrangement
may be cause for treatment to be put on hold or
discontinued.
- Any financial agreement is the responsibility of
the custodial parent.
- Your insurance will be filed as a courtesy for you.
Orthodontic insurance is paid over the course of
treatment, not all at the start. We can make no
guarantee of any estimated coverage but will do our
best to see to it that you receive your maximum
benefits.
- Please remember, your policy is an agreement
between you and your insurance company, not
between your insurance company and our office.
- Our office will be responsible for the monthly/quarterly
filing of insurance statements and the
follow-through on payments.
- If your coverage or carrier changes, please be
sure to notify our insurance secretary.
- If coverage decreases in any way, the unpaid
balance will be transferred back to the patient's
account and will be the responsibility of the patient.
