Payment Options

As a condition of your dental treatment by this office, financial arrangements must be made in advance. The practice depends upon reimbursement from the patients for the costs incurred in their care and financial responsibility on the part of each patient must be determined before treatment.

All emergency dental services, or any dental services performed without previous financial arrangements, must be paid for at the time services are performed. We accept Visa, Master Card, Discover, cash and check. There is a $40 fee for all returned checks.

Patients who carry dental insurance understand that all dental services furnished are charged directly to the patient and that he or she is personally responsible for payment of all dental services. This office will help prepare the patients insurance forms or assist in making collections from insurance companies and will credit any such collections to the patient’s account. However, this dental office cannot render services on the assumption that our charges will be paid by an insurance company. We accept and are preferred providers for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama, Delta Dental, United Concordia and Met Life insurances.

We also offer Care Credit, which is a monthly payment program designed to pay for healthcare and elective treatment that your insurance may not cover. It does not affect your insurance and can be used for your entire family. It is available for 12 months, no interest.

A service charge of 1½% per month (18% per annum) on the unpaid balance will be charged on all accounts exceeding 60 days, unless previously written financial arrangements are satisfied.

Broken appointments or appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice are subject to a broken appointment fee. Our office will make every effort to reach you one day prior to your appointment in order to confirm the appointment with you, however, it is the responsibility of the patient to keep their appointment with our office. We strive to run on schedule, therefore, we ask that our patients give us and other patients the same consideration.
