When time allows, we make reminder calls for the appointments that have not been confirmed prior to your scheduled visit. If you do not receive a reminder call or message, the above Policy will remain in effect.Appointment confirmation is required to keep your scheduled appointment.

We believe in optimum communication with our patients; therefore, we ask that you please read the following information and ask any and all questions so we may help you fully understand our financial and appointment policies. FOR PATIENTS WITH INSURANCE: We are happy to work with your carrier to maximize your benefits and directly bill them for reimbursement for your treatment, but the balance is ultimately the patients’ responsibility. Information that they (your insurance) provide to us is very limited and is not a guarantee that they will cover any procedure. We will provide you with an ESTIMATE of your co-pay, deductible and non-covered services. Please let us know if at any point you are unsure of your financial obligation. Upon request, the office will submit proposed treatment to the insurance carrier for review and pre-estimate. (Most insurance companies need 4-6 weeks to process.) As a courtesy to our patients we do phone your insurance carrier for a breakdown of benefits. Unfortunately, your insurance carrier will not guarantee any information given to us; therefore, we cannot guarantee what percentage of your treatment they will cover. We will provide the service of filling insurance claims on behalf of our patients. The patient is responsible for timely payment of all dental fees regardless of coverage or yearly limitation. If your insurance has not paid or has made a less payment on your behalf, you are responsible for your account and the remaining balance is due and payable by you, the patient. If your insurance has not paid within 90 days, the balance becomes the patient’s responsibility. Any insurance benefits paid subsequently will be refunded to the patient or, if desired, held on the account to be applied to future treatment. FIANCIAL AGREEMENT: Upon acceptance of treatment is this office the patient/guardian assumes financial responsibility for payment of fees. Treatment is to be paid in full when services are rendered unless other arrangements have been discussed and finalized. This may be in the form of cash, check, credit card or other outside financing. If a payment by check is dishonored, the account will be assessed a service fee of $35. Any balance over 90 days old will be assessed a finance charge of 18% APR. In the event it should become necessary to place your account in the hands of an attorney or collection agency, you will be responsible to pay all costs of collection including attorney fees. MINOR PATIENTS: The adult accompanying a minor and the parents/guardians are responsible for full payment, regardless of court child support order. For unaccompanied minors, non-emergency treatment will not be performed until financial arrangements have been made. REGARDING APPOINTMENTS: The doctor reserves appointment times exclusively with each patient. We are committed to being here to serve you and ask that you honor your commitment to us as well. The office reserves the right to charge a missed appointment fee of $50 dollars for repeated short notice cancellations (less than 48 hours) or for those who do not show or their appointments. Please keep us informed of any changes to your health information as well as your address, phone, email or insurance information so that we may serve you in the best possible manner. I have read and understand the above financial policies. I authorize release of any information pertaining to treatment for the purpose of comprehensive filing of insurance claims. For this purpose, a photocopy of this signature is as valid as an original. I authorize payment of primary insurance benefits directly to the dentist otherwise payable to me._____________________________________________________________ ______/______/______ PATIENT/GUARDIAN SIGNATURE _____________________________________________________________ PATIENT NAME Gentle Dental ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RECIEPT OF NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES *You May Refuse to Sign This Acknowledgement* I, ______________________________________________, have received a copy of this office’s Notice of Privacy Practices. ______________________________________________________ Please Print Name ________________________________________________________ ____/____/_____ Signature Date _____________________________________________________________________________________For Office Use Only_____________________________________________________________________________________ We attempted to obtain written acknowledgement of receipt of our Notice of Privacy Practices, but acknowledgement could not be obtained because: □ Individual Refused to Sign □ Communications barrier prohibited obtaining the acknowledgement □ An emergency situation prevented us from obtaining acknowledgement □ Other (Please Specify) ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Gentle DentalNOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICESTHIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW HEALTH INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOUCAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION.
