Insurance and fees

How payment works

Bring your insurance card to your consultation. We file the claim for you, and payments from your plan come to our office. Your estimated portion is due at the time of service unless arranged in advance, and we send a monthly statement for any balance after your insurance pays, usually within four to six weeks. If your statement does not yet show your insurance payment after that time, please call us. Whatever your plan pays, the fees for your care are your responsibility, and a phone call usually clears up any question about your account.

We accept cash, check, CareCredit, American Express, Visa, Mastercard and Discover. Credit card payments carry a 3% processing fee from the card processor. Cash, check and CareCredit do not.

Financing. We accept CareCredit, described below, and we can also arrange a monthly payment plan, as long as it is set up before treatment.

Missed appointments. Appointments missed or cancelled with less than 48 business hours' notice carry a fee.

CareCredit

CareCredit is a health and wellness credit card you can use to pay for your treatment over time, including the out-of-pocket costs your insurance does not cover.

• Promotional financing on qualifying purchases of $200 or more: no interest if the purchase is paid in full within six months.
• If the promotional balance is not paid in full within six months, interest is charged from the purchase date.
• Minimum monthly payments are required, and the card is subject to credit approval.
• You can see whether you prequalify without any impact on your credit score.
• The card is accepted at more than 260,000 locations nationwide.

CareCredit sets its own interest rates and terms, so please check the current ones on its website before you apply.
