We recommend that preschool children are seen in the morning because they are more relaxed, we are able to work more slowly with them and make them more comfortable. School age children with extensive treatment needs are seen in the morning for the same reason. Excused absence forms explaining that dental treatment is medically necessary will be provided. We can keep missing school to a minimum when regular dental care is continued.
We file all insurance electronically, so your insurance company will receive each claim within days of the treatment. You are responsible for any balance on your account after 30 days, whether insurance has paid or not. We will be glad to provide a credit or send you a refund if insurance overpays.
Please understand that we file insurance claims as a courtesy to our patients. We are not responsible for how your insurance company handles its claims or for what benefits they pay on a claim. We can only assist you in estimating your portion of the cost of treatment. We at no time guarantee how your insurance will process each claim. We also can not be responsible for any errors in filing your claim. Once again, we file claims as a courtesy and will be happy to assist you through this process.
Dental insurance is meant to be an aid in receiving dental care. Many patients think that their insurance pays 90%-100% of all dental fees. This is not true! Most plans only pay between 50%-80% of the average total fee. Some pay more, some pay less. The percentage paid is usually determined by how much you or your employer has paid for coverage, or the type of contract your employer has set up with the insurance company.
You may have noticed that sometimes your dental insurer reimburses you or the dentist at a lower rate than the dentist's actual fee. Frequently, insurance companies state that the reimbursement was reduced because your dentist's fee has exceeded the usual, customary, or allowable fee (UCR) used by the company.
A statement such as this gives the impression that any fee greater than the amount paid by the insurance company is unreasonable, or well above what most dentists in the area charge for a certain service. This can be very misleading and simply is not accurate.
Insurance companies set their own schedules, and each company uses a different set of fees they consider allowable. These allowable fees may vary widely, because each company collects fee information from claims it processes. The insurance company then takes this data and then chooses a level they call the 'allowable UCR fee. Frequently, this data can be many years out of date as these allowable fees are set by the insurance company.
Unfortunately, insurance companies imply that your dentist is 'overcharging', rather than say that they are 'underpaying', or that their benefits are low. In general, the less expensive insurance policy will use a lower UCR figure.
