Abbott Family Dentistry, LLC
FINANCIAL POLICY
Unless prior arrangements have been made, payment is due in full at the time of service.
If you have dental insurance, ultimately you are responsible for the dental bill, not your insurance company. As a courtesy, if you have insurance and that insurance can be verified, you need only pay any co-pay and deductable at the time of service. If your insurance company does not pay the remainder of the bill to our office within 45 days of submitting the claim, we request payment in full at that time. In order to avoid interest charges, you can pre-authorize payment against your Visa, MasterCard, or Discover Card in the event the insurance company does not pay within 45 days. A simple interest rate of 10% will start to accrue on unpaid balances when your account is 45 days past due. If balances are not paid and have to be sent to collections, interest will be recalculated from the date of service and increased to the maximum permitted by law, (no we don’t sent accounts to collections often, this is only done when our request for payment is ignored by the patient and / or the pt. simply refuses to pay their balance).
Note: To avoid being sent to collections, please forward your mail and / or give us your new mail address when you move. If we don’t have a way to send your statement to you, it could result in an open balance that could result in the account being sent to collections.
