If we are not participating/in-network with your insurance, payment is expected on date of service.  As a courtesy to you, we will file a claim to your insurance and they will reimburse you directly, according to your benefits.

Payment, including co-pays, co-insurance, and deductibles, is expected on the date of service unless other financial arrangements have been made. For services requiring lab-work such as dentures, appliances, and bridges, 50 percent of the estimated cost must be paid prior to the fabrication of your device. The remaining balance shall be paid on the date of placement.
