At Dentistry Just For Kids, we make every effort to provide a treatment plan which fits your timetable and budget and gives your child the best possible care. Your treatment plan will include a breakdown of all applicable fees, and we will inform you of all costs before treatment is administered.
Payment is expected at the time treatment is provided, unless special arrangements have been made prior to your appointment. We accept cash, checks, MasterCard, Visa, Discover Card and CareCredit.
Insurance
We accept most dental insurances, including Tricare (United Concordia) for military families. You must be familiar with your insurance plan. As a courtesy to you, we will try to estimate what your plan covers and file your claim electronically on the day of treatment. However, we cannot and do not guarantee what your insurance will or will not pay on your claim because we do not have the contract with your insurance company; you do.
Typically, most insurance plans pay between 50%-80% and imply that any fee greater than their "allowable fee" is unreasonable or well above what most dentists charge. This is simply not true. What your insurance plan does cover is determined by how much you or your employer paid for coverage and the type of plan your employer set up. In general, less expensive plans will use lower "allowable fees". Regardless of what your insurance company pays, you are ultimately responsible for any account balance.
