Financial Policies

Our business staff has over thirty years of experience with dental plan administrators. We are happy to gather information about your eligibility and benefits. We do encourage our patients to know the maximums and limitations of their dental plans. Due to HIPAA (privacy act) regulations, specific information obtained from your dental insurance carrier may be limited. We gladly submit your dental claims electronically to allow for a quick reimbursement for our patients. Most major dental insurance companies release reimbursement to their subscribers within 10 to 14 business days.

There are many ways in which dental plans are designed and how reimbursement levels are determined. Dr. Barbaro is an out-of-network provider. If you have dental coverage, you know that your dental plan is designed to share your dental costs. It may not reimburse the total cost of your dental care. Even though the cost of dental care has significantly increased over the years, the maximum levels of insurance reimbursements have remained the same for almost 30 years. Most patients share our feelings of not letting their insurance companies dictate the dentistry they choose to have done.

We spend time to explain the financial choices our patient’s have with their treatment plans. We know you are a dental patient, but you are also a dental consumer. Therefore, fees are openly discussed as part of your case presentation. We do accept cash, major credit and debit cards or personal checks as payment methods for your completed treatment phase.

We encourage our patients to utilize their Flexible Spending (Pre-Tax Dollar) Accounts set up by their employers to help with expenses that are not reimbursed by dental insurance companies. We feel it is important to spend time with our patients to plan out the financial end of their necessary or elective treatment plans.
