Fees for dental services are due on the date of treatment unless prior arrangements have been made with our financial coordinator. Our office accepts cash, checks, MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Care Credit. We offer a variety of options on extensive treatment plans that may better fit your budget.

Insurance
Our office, as a courtesy, will file dental insurance benefits for you. However, at the first visit, we request that the balance be paid in full until we are familiar with your coverage, deductibles, and co-payments. We will be happy to reimburse any credit balances from overpayment by your insurance company. We will also provide you with any information you may need to file your secondary insurance. On subsequent visits to our office, you will be responsible for any deductibles, co-payments, or balances not covered by insurance. Our office will attempt to call ahead and inform you of the estimated costs of treatment, to avoid any surprises.

Filing your insurance is not a guarantee of payment for the service(s) performed. We have no way of knowing if, or what, your insurance company will pay until the actual claim is submitted. Therefore, all account balances which have not been paid within a 30 day period become due by the parent/guardian responsible.

Dental insurance is meant to be an “aid” in receiving dental care. Our office bases treatment on your child’s needs, not what your insurance will pay. Insurance payment is determined by “UCR” fees (usual, customary, and reasonable fees). These fees are not always the same as our fees. Some insurance companies may pay less, some pay more. Whether your insurance pays 100%, 80%, or 50% of a procedure, they are determining payment based on their fee schedule, not the actual fee our office has charged for the service.

Please keep us informed of any changes or updates in your insurance information. Our insurance coordinator has over 15 years experience, and will be glad to assist you with any questions you might have.

Georgia Medicaid
Our office accepts Georgia Medicaid, Well Care and Peach Care for Kids. Please have the current card showing eligibility prior to your visit. If for some reason you do not have your card before your visit, please call our office so we can verify coverage.
