Financial Policy
Thank you for choosing Vineyard Dental. Our primary mission is to deliver the best and most comprehensive dental care available. An important part of the mission is making the cost of optimal care as easy and manageable for our patients as possible by offering several payment options.
Payment Options:
You can choose from:
– Cash, Visa®, MasterCard®, American Express® or Discover Card®
We offer a 5% courtesy accounting adjustment to patients who pay for their treatment with Cash prior to completion of care.
– Convenient Monthly Payment Options¹ from CareCredit Healthcare Credit Card¹
o Allow you to pay over time
o No annual fees or pre-payment penalties
Insurance
We accept most traditional indemnity plans and PPO plans for dental insurance coverage.
While we make no guarantee for estimated coverage, we work closely with you and file the necessary forms to help you receive the full benefits of your policy. Please contact our office directly to learn more and to discuss your dental benefits.
We are here to build health-enhancing relationships and friendships with the people in our reach. We each bring a strong personal commitment to our work and make a significant difference in the lives of others. In that light, our practice is not an insurance-driven practice. As a courtesy to you, we will do our very best to maximize your dental benefits. We will process all your insurance claims, receive and post-credit from your insurance coverage to your account. All policies have limitations and do not cover 100% of the fees charged. Ultimately, it is your responsibility for the total cost of treatment regardless of what insurance reimburses.
We will gladly assist you with understanding your dental coverage at any time. It would be helpful for you to bring a copy of your benefit levels to your initial visit. If one is not available, we will obtain as much information as possible in order to assist you with understanding your reimbursement. If at any time you are dissatisfied with your dental reimbursement, you may want to discuss it with your Human Resources Department at your place of employment.
Please note:
For patients with dental insurance we are happy to work with your carrier to maximize your benefit and directly bill them for reimbursement for your treatment.²
For larger, more comprehensive treatment plans of $2000 or more, a deposit is required to secure your initial treatment appointment.
Vineyard Dental requires payment at the beginning of your treatment. If you choose to discontinue care before treatment is complete, you will receive a refund less the cost of care received.
Vineyard Dental charges $35.00 for returned checks.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We are here to help you get the dentistry you want or need.
¹Subject to credit approval
²However, if we do not receive payment from your insurance carrier within 90 days, you will be responsible for payment of your treatment fees and collection of your benefits directly from your insurance carrier.
