How we handle Your Insurance Coverage
We always strive to maximize your insurance benefits, in turn we ask that:
You provide us with accurate, up-to-date information regarding your coverage. It is best to bring us your insurance card or your benefit packet provided by your employer.
Although we can not guarantee payment by insurance companies, we will do our best to give you an estimate of fees and copayments prior to the start of your care.
Deductibles and Copayments are expected at the time of service.
You must promptly respond to insurance company requests for information in order to prevent delays in receiving your benefits.
top Why doesn't my insurance cover all
of my "needed" treatment?
Because insurance companies are
in business for a profit! If insurance companies paid for all necessary
treatment needed by most of my
patients, they would not make a profit – plain and simple.
As a dentist and a professional, I am also in business for profit.
However, unlike the insurance company, I have a moral, ethical,
and a legal obligation to maintain your oral and dental health.
I am also accountable for my diagnosis and treatment to my professional
peers and review boards.
The insurance company has no accountability
and no interest in your oral and dental health. They are a wedge
between your Doctor
and you and their sole purpose is to turn a profit. They take
your, and other people's, money and give it back to you. As you
have
seen in the mass media, even the highest elected official for
insurance companies can place their own interests ahead of their
insured
customers.
