Whether you have insurance or not, we're here to help you! We take a variety of insurance plans as well as Care Credit. Below is some information to help you determine what information you need when scheduling your appointment.
If you have insurance, please have the name of the insurance company and whether it is an HMO (health maintenance organization) or a PPO (preferred provider organization) available when making your appointment.
Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) is a contractual agreement between our office and the insurance company for us to abide by the fees that they set. If you have this type of insurance plan, please make sure your insurance has you assigned to our office prior to scheduling your appointment to ensure that your insurance will cover your visit.
Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) is a fee for service plan. While the HMO plans are a set fee, PPO plans actually pay a portion of your dental treatment up to a specific amount per year. Normally, these plans come with a yearly deductible which is waived if the patient only has preventative maintenance performed during the year. If work is diagnosed, the insurance company usually prefers that the office submit a pre-authorization for any work over $300.
