Our Office Financial Policy
Thank you for choosing us as your dental health care provider. We believe that all patients deserve the
very best dental care we can provide. We also believe that everyone benefits when specific financial
arrangements are agreed upon. Please understand that payment of your bill is considered a part of your
treatment. The following is a statement of our Financial Policy which we require the patient to read and
sign prior to any treatment. All patients must complete our information and insurance forms before
seeing the doctor.
FULL PAYMENT IS DUE AT TIME OF SERVICE. WE ACCEPT CASH, CHECKS, VISA, MASTERCARD,
DISCOVER, AMERICAN EXPRESS, AND DEBIT CARDS. WE ALSO OFFER CARE CREDIT- AN EXTENDED
PAYMENT PLAN WITH PRIOR CREDIT APPROVAL.
Regarding Insurance
We request that any co-payments, deductibles, and any services not covered by your insurance plan
be paid at the time the service is provided. The balance is your responsibility whether your insurance
company pays or not. We cannot bill your insurance unless you bring in all insurance information at
your initial visit. Your insurance policy is a contract between you and your insurance company. We are
not a party to that contract. If your insurance company has not paid your account in full within 45 days,
the balance will be automatically transferred to your account. Please be aware some and possibly all of
the services provided may be non-covered services and not considered reasonable, usual, and
customary under the terms of your dental and/or medical policy.
Usual and Customary Rates
Our practice is committed to providing the best treatment for our patients, and we charge what is usual
and customary for our area. You are responsible for payment regardless of any insurance company’s
arbitrary determination of usual and customary rates.
Adult Patients
Adult patients are responsible for full payment at the time of service. If you are unable to pay at this
time, be sure to point this out when you arrive for your appointment.
Minor Patients
The adult accompanying a minor and/or the parents (or guardians) are responsible for full payment at
the time of service. For unaccompanied minors, non-emergency treatment will be denied unless charges
have been pre-authorized to an approved credit plan, credit card, or payment by cash or check at time
Initials
Please See Back
of service has been verified. WE DO NOT BILL THIRD PARTIES. Any court order between parents is a civil
suit. The parent who brings the child is responsible for the charges.
Payment Plans
East Hamilton Dental PLLC has partnered with Care Credit, a patient financing company, to offer our
patients 0% interest financing for 6 to 12 months with approval. No other payment plans are available.
Missed Appointments
Unless cancelled at least 24 hours in advance, our policy is to charge for missed appointments at the
rate of a normal office visit ($30). Please understand that missed appointment times are valuable to
those patients that may find it hard to come to the dentist at other times. Please help us serve you
better by keeping your scheduled appointments. Excessive cancellations and no shows will result in
termination of our treatment agreement, and your records can be forwarded to another dental office
for a $10 fee.
Fees
All accounts that have not paid the estimated portion of their bill at the time of service will incur a $3.00
billing charge each month until the balance is paid. Balances which are 60 days old or older will incur a
monthly 1.5% finance charge which equals an 18% per annum rate. There is also a $30 returned check
fee.
Refunds
Refunds for overpayment will be sent after all treatment is completed and insurance has been collected.
Collections
Due to high cost of billing, our office prefers to have payments made at the time services are rendered.
In the event that a balance is carried with our office, the Undersigned agrees that he/she is responsible
for any and all charges incurred on this account. If the account has to be placed with a collection agency
or with an attorney, the undersigned agrees to pay any and all reasonable cost associated with the
collection and or attorney fees.
Thank you for understanding our financial policy. Please let us know if you have any questions or
concerns. We look forward to providing the highest quality dental care in a relaxing and caring
atmosphere.
I have thoroughly read the Financial Policy. I understand and agree to this Financial Policy.
