Family & General Dentistry
Appointments
We see all patients on an appointment basis and ask that you call in advance so that we may reserve time for you. The office phone number is 317-462--7696. We try to see all patients on time, and request that you extend the same courtesy to us. At least 2 days advance notice is appreciated, if appointment changes are necessary. In instances where appointments are cancelled or failed with 24 hours notice or less a minimum fee of $45.00 may be charged to your account.
Emergency Care
Emergency situations arise, and we will do everything in our power to respond to your concerns. In some instances emergency patients are "worked" into our schedule. Your patience is greatly appreciated. Your comfort is our main concern.
Recare Visits
We believe in the benefits of regular preventive care and encourage all our patients to return for periodic hygiene recare visits. We will send out a written reminder when it is time for your recare visit. When you receive this notice, please contact our office promptly to reserve or confirm your next office visit. At the time of your recare visit, please inform our office team if you have experienced any changes in your health, personal, insurance or employment since your last visit.
Insurance
Please bring your insurance identification card and signed claim form to your first visit. Our office will contact your Primary Insurance carrier to verify coverage and estimate your dental benefits. Dental insurance is intended to cover some, but not all of your dental care. Anv estimated deductible and Co-payment is due in full as services are rendered. We accept most Primary Insurance plans and will file claims for you. Our office will wait up to 60 days for Primary Insurance to respond to claim submission. If payment is not received in full from your carrier within 60 days from date of service, a statement will be forwarded and any remaining balance is due in full from the patient/responsible party. We do not accept assignment of benefits from Secondary Insurance carriers. We will file a Secondary insurance claim for you and ask your carrier to reimburse you directly. We are not a contract dental practice, though some plans will provide benefits if you go to a non-PPO dentist. Please feel free to contact our office with any questions.
Dental Care
During dental visits in which additional dental needs are diagnosed, our office will provide a written treatment proposal for the patient. The treatment proposal lists the dental services needed, the cost of each service, deductible and co-payment estimation due at each visit, and the method of payment the patient/responsible party has chosen. As patient's dental needs change, a new treatment proposal will be provided with updated information.
Payment
Payment in full is expected as services are rendered for all non-insured patients. Patients with verified Primary Insurance coverage are required to pay their estimated deductible and co-payment as services are rendered. After Primary Insurance responds or at a maximum of 60 days from date of service, all balances are due in full by the patient/responsible party. Regardless of pending insurance claims, interest of 1.5% per month will be added to account balances aging to 60 days or greater. If primary insurance can not be verified, payment is due in full at the time services are rendered, an insurance claim will be filed so the patient may be reimbursed directly by their carrier.
We offer several payment options for our patients. A 5% immediate payment courtesy will be extended for payment in full by cash or check at the time services are rendered for any dental services totaling $250.00 or greater. We accept Visa and Mastercard. We offer extended payment plans through an outside resource. If you are interested in extended payment arrangements, please inquire with our financial coordinator.
Office Philosophy
We are dedicated to providing you with the highest quality care, through clinical excellence and Christian values. Our team enjoys treating patients of all age groups including those who are apprehensive or fearful of dentistry. We use the latest sterilization techniques and offer nitrous oxide for added comfort. Dental treatment options are recommended based on patient need, not based on possible financial gain to the practice. We're confident you will enjoy being a member of Cornerstone Dental Arts.
