Our practice accepts most major credit cards and insurance plans.
Orthodontic Insurance
There are many different contracts between insurance carriers and subscribers; each contract providing a different benefit. Generally, orthodontic insurance differs from dental insurance in that each insured individual usually has a lifetime maximum for orthodontic services. This orthodontic benefit is paid to the subscriber or provider (if the provider accepts assignment) as a percentage of the orthodontic fee for services rendered until the subscriber’s benefit maximum has been reached. It is your responsibility to call your insurance company prior to your first visit to determine your eligible orthodontic insurance coverage and the timing and structure of payments.
For your convenience, we accept assignment and will submit initial insurance claims for charges related to treatment in our Allendale or Westwood office. Payment for treatment is determined by the insurance carrier after the services are rendered and pre authorization by phone or paper is not a guarantee of payment. Please be advised, our primary financial relationship is with our patients or their families and not with their respective insurance companies. Please remember that orthodontic insurance is a benefit for you or your child. If, during the course of treatment, your benefits or coverage change, the financially responsible party is accountable for all outstanding charges.
