Payments & Insurance

Financial Policy Summary
Linda P. Swain, DDS, P.A.

"We are pleased that you have chosen us to provide health care for you or your child. In
order to avoid any misunderstanding, we ask that you carefully read this financial statement. When you come into our office we ask that you sign the full copy of this agreement. (Summary of agreement is shown below)  Thank you." Dr. Swain

 

1. All new and emergency patients are expected to pay in full at the time of their visit.

2. We prefer that established patients pay in full at the time of each visit. We recognize
however, that there are times when this is not possible. In such cases, we will work with you to arrange an alternate payment plan.

3. If you are an established patient and have dental insurance, we will file the insurance for you. It is important that you understand that our financial relationship is with you, not your insurance company.

4. Dental insurance companies generally cover a percentage of dental procedures; the percentage that is not covered is your responsibility. The estimated non-covered amount is due at the time of the procedure.

 

If you or your child are covered by Medicaid, you must present the card
to the receptionist prior to each visit to our office to receive services under the Medicaid program.

5. The person who brings a child or children to our office is expected to pay for that visit.

6. If you have more than one health insurance plan we will answer questions to help you file with the secondary plan. We normally file only primary insurance coverage.

7.  If you have chosen an alternate payment plan we will discuss payment procedures and charges at the time arrangements for the plan are made.

8. A scheduled dental appointment means that the time has been specifically set-aside for your treatment needs. Our office reserves the right to charge a $25.00 fees for missed dental appointments.
