Let's Talk About Insurance

One of the most frequently asked questions before any patient begins orthodontic treatment: what type of insurance do you accept? How much of my treatment will my insurance cover?

In an effort to help keep your orthodontic fees to a minimum but still receive the best possible care; we have developed our own convenient financial policy:

- If full payment is made at the onset of treatment, we provide a fee discount. If you have insurance, we will discount your portion of the fee that is not covered by insurance if payment is made at the time of service.

- To fit the needs of our patients, a financial arrangement can be made to extend your payments over a period of months following an appropriate down payment.

- For your convenience, we accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express.

Our office staff is happy to verify with your insurance how much of your orthodontic treatment is covered. If your insurance will make direct payments to our office, we will bill your insurance company for you and work that into your financial arrangements with our practice!

To find out more about our financial policy, insurance options and what to expect at your first visit, please check out our web site or call 775-624-5476!
