<p>Our insurance coordinators deal with many different insurance companies. Some companies offer many different dental and medical plans. Some companies combine dental and medical coverage. This insurance alphabet soup changes policies and guidelines weekly. At times, it is almost impossible to accurately estimate our patients' insurance co-payment. </p>
<p>Many insurance companies will not give out fees until after the treatment is completed. Dealing with these companies can be difficult and time consuming. As a courtesy, we ask that you keep us informed of any change to your insurance. It is important that all information about you and your insurance is current.</p>
<h2>Co-Payment</h2>
<p>All co-payments are payable when you check in at the front desk.</p>
<h2>HMO Patients</h2>
<p>If a patient comes to us with a problem that they expect to be covered by medical insurance (biopsies, tumors, TMJ, infections, jaw deformities), they must have a referral from their primary care physician.</p>
