Office Policies

Our Mission
At our office, we ensure that patients receive the most advanced dental care. Our office regularly attends seminars and conferences devoted to new treatments, new technologies and excellent patient care practices. With patient care as our top priority, this is our commitment to you.

Appointments
Appointments are an important part of your treatment, as time has been reserved specifically for you to talk with the doctor and receive treatment. Please arrive on time for your appointment. If you are more than 15 minutes late, you might be asked to reschedule your appointment.

Financial and Insurance
It is our mission to provide you with affordable, high-quality treatment that fits your budget! Your treatment plan will include a breakdown of all applicable fees, and we will inform you of all costs before treatment is administered. We offer a variety of payment options to meet your needs. Our office accepts payments by cash, checks, Visa and Mastercard.

Brainerd Dental Care Financial Policy
We are happy to submit your claims and help you with any insurance questions in order to maximize your benefit.  This is done as a courtesy to you, but the ultimate responsibility for understanding your policy lies with you.  Because the insurance policy is an agreement between you and the insurance company, we ask that all patients be directly responsible for all charges.

Insurance patients will be asked to pay an estimate of their patient portion at the time of service.  You will receive a monthly statement the remaining balance once your insurance has paid.  Payment will be expected within 30 days of receipt unless you contact us to initiate an alternative arrangement.

If you do not have insurance, payment is due at time of service unless advance arrangements have been agreed upon.

Payment options:

1. Cash or check (5% discount if paid in full at time of service)
2. Visa or MasterCard
3. Flexible Spending Accounts
4. CareCredit – the financing plan we offer as a separate line of credit to cover your healthcare needs. CareCredit offers many benefits – including:

• no interest or revolving plans @11.9% interest
• flexible financing options
• no annual fees or prepayment penalties
• apply through us or privately by phone or online

Affordable Financing Options
Don't let finances stand in your way for achieving the beautiful, healthy smile you deserve! We are pleased to offer CareCredit financing options with low monthly payments that make your treatment more affordable. This flexible payment option allows you to pay for your treatment over a period of time so you can focus on what matters most – keeping your smile healthy!

Insurance Policy
Our office is committed to helping you maximize your insurance benefits. Because insurance policies vary, we can only estimate your coverage in good faith but cannot guarantee coverage due to the complexities of insurance contracts. Your estimated patient portion must be paid at the time of service.

Your estimated patient portion must be paid at the time of service. As a service to our patients, we will bill insurance companies for services. If claims are not paid within 60 days, you are responsible for the balance. If you have any questions, our courteous staff is always available to answer them.
