DENTAL INSURANCE
Dental Insurance is
intended to cover a portion of your dental treatment charges. The
amount of coverage depends on the individual contract your employer
or union has with the insurance carrier.
This
coverage should be considered reimbursement for fees incurred, and
this reimbursement is dependent on many factors including deductibles
and maximum allowable benefits in a given year.
Our
Office does not participate in any third-party insurance plan and
thus does not accept assignment of benefits, since the contract for
insurance is a contract between the insurer and the insured.
Under
Massachusetts Law benefits must be paid to the insured within thirty
days after submission of a claim to the insurance company.
Assignment of those benefits to non-participating providers may not
be paid for well over ninety days.
We
will be happy to fill out your insurance claim form for you, to
expedite your reimbursement. Please bring your insurance card and
insurance information with you on your first visit. We will include
this information in our computer database, and have your claim form
printed out at the end of your visit ready for you to submit to your
insurance company.
