 
There are many different agreements between insurance carriers and their subscribers. Each contract provides different benefits. Orthodontic insurance generally differs from regular dental insurance in that each insured individual has a lifetime maximum for orthodontic services. This benefit is paid at a percentage of the orthodontic fee until the orthodontic maximum benefit has been reached.For your convenience we will submit predetermination plus initial and progress insurance claims. Our primary financial relationship is with our patients or their families and not with their respective insurance companies. Many of you know what your benefits are before treatment starts however if you are not sure please contact your insurance company or benefits manager. If desired, we can call your insurance company or submit a pretreatment claim for determination of insurance benefits for you. If you would like our office to submit claims prior to treatment, we ask that you provide us with the name, address, and phone number of your insurance carrier as well as the appropriate forms. Please complete the insured or employee portion of your form and sign where indicated.  |
