Financial Policy
 In order to provide you with the highest quality dental care, we offer our patients a variety of payment options. By establishing a clearly defined method of payment, we hope to eliminate confusion, simplify insurance claims, and provide more thorough coverage for our patients.
We accept the following forms of payment:
| • |
CASH or CHECK
|
| • |
MAJOR CREDIT CARDS
We accept Visa, Master Card, Discover, & American Express.
|
| • |
Extended payment plans through CareCredit (based upon credit approval) CareCredit
|
Insurance
You are directly responsible to our office for payment of treatment. As a courtesy, we accept assignment of benefit payments from your insurance company. This will reduce your immediate out-of-pocket expenditures. We will do our upmost to help you derive the maximum benefits to which you are entitled.
Alder Family Dental is in-network with the following insurance plans. However, we do accept most all PPO insurance plans with co-pays being the same or marginally different for plans we are not in-network with.
| • |
Regence (Blue Shield, Blue Cross, etc.)
|
| • |
Premera
|
| • |
Delta Dental (WDS, ODS, Moda, etc.)
|
| • |
Cigna PPO |
The insurance estimates we give you are based upon limited information obtained from your insurance company. If we need more detailed information on your benefits in order to file your claim, you will need to provide that to our team. Insurance companies calculate their payment on the contract signed with your employer, not on the doctor’s fees. Our office will not file an insurance claim which falsifies dates of treatment, fees charged, treatment performed, or any other information.
Cancellation Policy
We realize that emergencies can occur. Should an unforeseen situation prevent you from making a pre-arranged appointment, please contact our office as soon as possible. This allows us to serve you and our other patients to the best of our abilities.
Appointments that are missed or changed at the last minute are then unavailable to other patients who need appointments. Failure to cancel a scheduled appointment within 24 hours more than once may result in a dismissal from our office.
Thank you for taking the time to read and understand our financial options. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have with our front desk team. We look forward to providing you with the highest level of professional care possible! |
