Thank you for choosing our office for your dental needs. Obtaining dental treatment is very important for your overall health, but using dental insurance can be confusing. Our financial policies are designed to help patients maximize their insurance plan benefits, and make filing claims easy.

1. Payment is due on the day of treatment.

2. This office will file insurance claims for you. We are happy to help you by submitting insurance claims without charge. However, our office does not guarantee payment or coverage by your insurance company. Dental insurance usually pays only a portion of your charges and we urge you to be fully aware of the provisions of your dental plan's policy.

3. Cash, Check, VISA, Mastercard, or American Express are acceptable methods of payment.

4. In the event you are unable to make payment by any of the methods outlined above, you can ask for information about third-party lending institutions to assist you in paying for your dental treatment.

5. Since time with our patients is very precious, and lost time is irretrievable, we must charge for broken appointments when we have not been notified at least 48 hours in advance. Our charge for broken
appointments is $80. Our desire is never to find it necessary to make this charge. Please keep your appointment. We are waiting for you.

Payment Options

We are pleased to offer Dental Financing to our patients. Fast, convenient, no down payment, low monthly payment and even Interest-Free plans for dental treatments of $1,500 to $25,000. Offering the following financial options allows us to make the smile you've always wanted affordable.

Care Credit

Financial considerations should not be an obstacle to obtaining medical care. Payment options are available to assist you in fulfilling your financial obligations:

1. Payment at time of service

2. Monthly payment plans: Care Credit offers 12 month NO INTEREST financing for approved applicants. There are no hidden fees.

3. Prepayment courtesy: A 5% accounting discount for all treatment over $600 that is paid in full by cash or check BEFORE the start of treatment. If you have insurance, since you have prepaid, the benefits will be sent directly to you from you insurance company.

You will be asked to sign this policy signifying your acknowledgment of and agreement to our financial policies before dental services at Barbara Mallonee, DDS are rendered.

We look forward to caring for your dental needs.
