How It Works, Step by Step

1

Treatment and fee discussion

Before treatment begins, we tell you the fee for your care, so there are no surprises.

2

Payment is collected at your visit

You pay at the time of your visit. We don't bill your insurance company or wait on claim decisions.

3

We email you an insurance packet

After your visit, we email you the documentation your insurance company needs, typically an itemized statement with procedure codes, diagnosis information, and our practice details. We prepare everything, and you only have to submit it.

4

You submit the packet to your insurance

Send the packet to your insurance company, usually through your plan's website, app, or by mail.

5

Your insurance reimburses you directly

If your plan has out-of-network benefits, your insurance company pays you, not us, based on what your plan covers.

Insurance Reimbursement FAQs

Do you bill my insurance company?

No. Payment is collected at your visit, and we don't bill insurance or wait on claim decisions. We give you the documentation to submit yourself.

What's in the insurance packet?

Typically an itemized statement with procedure codes, diagnosis information, and our practice details. We email it to you after your visit.

How do I submit it to my insurance company?

Usually through your plan's website or app, or by mail. Your insurer can tell you which method they prefer.

Who does the insurance company pay?

If your plan has out-of-network benefits, your insurer reimburses you directly, not our practice.

Will my insurance reimburse me?

It depends on your plan. Some plans reimburse a significant portion of out-of-network care, while others reimburse little or nothing. We can't guarantee an amount, but you can call your insurer to ask about out-of-network benefits, deductibles, and annual maximums.

What if your fee is higher than what my plan pays?

Insurance may pay based on "usual and customary" rates. If our fee is higher than what your plan considers customary, you cover the difference.

Do deductibles and annual maximums still apply?

Yes, just as they would with an in-network dentist.

Is there a deadline to submit my packet?

Plans have filing deadlines, and submitting the packet is what triggers reimbursement, so it's worth doing promptly after your visit.
