INSURANCE:

We accept most PPO insurance plans along with Georgia Medicaid/Wellcare and PeahCare for Kids.

You can pay for your office visits and any treatments by cash, credit or debit cards at the time of service. To discuss your payment options or insurance coverage, please call: Woodstock Location 770-928-4511 or our Kennesaw Location 678-581-0063

For your convenience, we are pleased to accept Care Credit and Capital One Dental Fee Plans.

We are happy to file claims with your insurance for treatment. We must first verify your insurance information prior to your treatment. Please be aware of your insurance benefits because, at the time of service, we will collect from you the amount the insurance is not expected to pay. This amount is only an estimate because the insurance does not guarantee payment of any treatment before processing the actual claim.

We file most claims electronically so that your insurance company will receive each claim within days of your service. You are responsible for any balance on your account after 60 days, whether insurance has paid or not. For any outstanding balances over 90 days past due, a 1.5% finance charge will be added monthly.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND that we file dental insurance as a COURTESY TO YOU, our patient. We do not have a contract with your insurance company, only you do. We are not responsible for how your insurance company handles your claim, or what benefits they may or may not pay. We are only able to help you in estimating your portion of the cost of treatment. We can not guarantee what your insurance will or will not do with each claim.

We are dental care providers and will determine treatment based on what we feel is best for our patients. We will not determine treatment based on what your insurance may or may not cover.

INSURANCE FACTS:

NO INSURANCE PAYS 100% OF ALL PROCEDURES.

Dental insurance is meant to be an aid in receiveng dental care. Most insurance will pay between 50%-80% of the average total fee. Some pay more, some pay less. Even if you have double coverage, you may still be responsible for some portion of the costs. The percentage paid by the insurance company is determined by the terms of a contract between you and your insurance company. Deductibles and co-payments must be considered when determining your portion due.

BENEFITS ARE NOT DETERMINED BY OUR OFFICE.

You may notice that sometimes your dental insurer reimburses you or our office at a lower rate than the dentist's actual fees. Often, insurance companies state that the reimbursement was reduced because your dentist's fees have exceeded the usual, customary, or reasonable fee (UCR) used by the insurance company.

A statement such as this gives the impression that any fee greater than the amount paid by the insurance company is unreasonable or more than what most dentists in the area charge for a certain treatment. This can be very misleading and is simply not accurate.

Insurance companies set their own payment schedules and each company uses a different set of fees they consider allowable. These "allowable" fees may vary widely because each company collects the fee information from claims it processes. The insurance company then takes the data and arbitrarily chooses a level they call " allowable" UCR fee. Frequently this fee may be three to five years old and these "allowable" fees are set by the insurance company so that they can net a 20%-30% profit.

Unfortunately, insurance companies imply that we are "overcharging" rather than saying they are "underpaying" or that their benefits are low. Our UCR fees are based and determined by the average of the fees charged for a particular treatment by dentists in the area.

Please contact us with any additional questions you may have about your dental insurance coverage.

PREFERRED PROVIDERS

While we accept and file claims for ALL PPO insurance plans, we are a "preferred provider" for select insurance companies. If we do not participate with your insurance company, you will still receive a discounted rate for the services provided.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, please keep us informed of any insurance changes such as policy name, insurance company address, change of group, or change of employment.
