Our office is committed to helping you maximize your insurance benefits. Because insurance policies vary, we can only estimate your coverage in good faith but cannot guarantee coverage due to the complexities of insurance contracts. Your estimated patient portion must be paid at the time of service. As a service to our patients, we will bill insurance companies for services. If you have any questions, our courteous staff is always available to answer them.
It is our mission to provide you with affordable, high-quality treatment that fits your budget! While we require that payment is due at the time service is rendered, we do offer a variety of payment options to meet your needs. Our office accepts payments by cash, checks, and Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover credit cards. If you have any questions, please call us at 602-230-7563! We will thoroughly explain your choices and work hard to accommodate your needs.
If your insurance covers treatment, you will receive the benefit of reduced personal costs. We will send you a monthly statement. Insurance policies vary, so we will review your insurance to determine the appropriate course of action.
Please alert the office you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to surgery (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are currently taking any medication (i.e. heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.)
If your dentist has taken X-rays, you may request that they forward them to our office. If there is not enough time, please pick them up and bring them to our office. If additional films are necessary, they can be taken at our facility.
