Financing Your Dental Care
At Smith Mountain Lake Dental Practice in Moneta, VA, we understand that financing your dental care can be a concern. Our goal is to provide high-quality dental services while ensuring that you have access to flexible and convenient payment options. Below you will find our financial policies and information about insurance and financing options to help manage the cost of your dental care.
Financial Policy
Payment at the time of service is our standard practice. We believe in transparent billing and aim to make the payment process as straightforward as possible. Here’s how we handle payments and insurance:
Immediate Payment: We request payment at the time of service for all treatments. This helps us maintain a smooth and efficient billing process.
Insurance Filing: We file dental insurance claims on your behalf and do our best to estimate what your insurance company may reimburse. If we can determine the expected insurance coverage, you will only need to pay the remaining balance at the time of service.
Understanding Insurance: Dental insurance policies vary greatly, and each company offers multiple plans. To help us better assist you, please bring your “Explanation of Benefits” (EOB) booklet or provide us with your insurance web link. While we will work diligently to help you receive the maximum benefits from your insurance, please remember that your bill is ultimately your responsibility.
Non-Contract Providers: We are not contracted with any dental insurance companies, which allows us to treat all patients equally, whether they have insurance or not. Our fees are uniform, ensuring consistent and fair pricing for everyone.
Insurance
We strive to help you navigate your dental insurance to get the most out of your benefits:
Claim Processing: We process dental insurance claims and pre-treatment estimates to assist you in understanding your potential out-of-pocket costs.
Patient Responsibility: While we work to optimize your insurance benefits, any remaining balance after insurance reimbursement is the patient's responsibility.
Flexible Financing Options
We offer several financing options to help make your dental care more affordable:
Payment Plans: For established patients, we can arrange to spread out treatment costs over time, making it easier to manage your budget.
Third-Party Financing: We offer creative financing solutions, including third-party financing options, to help cover the cost of your dental treatments. These options often come with flexible payment terms and can be a cost-effective alternative to dental insurance policies.
Consultation: To find the best financing solution for your situation, we encourage you to speak with our Office Administrator. They can provide detailed information and assist you in exploring the various payment options available.
