New Patient Forms
If you are a new patient to our office, the attached file contains our new patient forms that will need to be filled out when you arrive at our office. Printing them, filling them out and bringing them with you will allow us to attend to your dental needs more quickly than completing them on your arrival. Thank you and please call our office if you have any questions at all.
Payment Options
For your convenience, we accept cash, personal checks, and all major credit cards. Payment is expected at the time services are performed. When more extensive dental care is necessary, financing can be arranged by Care Credit Payment Plan.
Insurance
As a service to our patients, our practice accepts most dental insurance programs, including non-managed care, indemnity (traditional) and PPO out-of-network. We are currently Preferred Providers Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama, MetLife, Southland and Guardian insurance companies. Our accounting staff will prepare all the necessary forms for your dental benefits. However, we remind you that your specific policy is an agreement between you and your insurance company. Please keep in mind that you are responsible for your total obligation should your insurance benefits result in less coverage than anticipated. Our staff will gladly submit a pre-treatment estimate to your insurance company so that you will know what your benefits will be, and we will strive to keep you informed of any unusual fees or procedures that may not be covered by your insurance company.
The fees charged for services rendered to those who are insured are the usual and customary fees charged to all our patients for similar services. Your policy may base its allowances on a fixed fee schedule, which may or may not coincide with our usual fees. You should be aware that different insurance companies vary greatly in the types of coverage available. Also, some companies take care of claims promptly while others delay payment for several months.
