How fees work

We are in network with some PPO dental plans and out of network with others. We file claims for you either way. We are not enrolled with Medicaid or CHIP. Original Medicare does not cover routine dental care, and some Medicare Advantage plans do; ask us and your plan.

If you don't have insurance, you pay at the visit, and you know the fee before we start. Financing is offered by third-party lenders. Approval and terms are set by the lender.

After each visit you get an itemized statement. If we are out of network with your plan, you can send it to the plan to ask for reimbursement. The plan decides what it pays.

You can ask for a written estimate before any treatment. If you are paying without insurance, we give you a written estimate in advance, when you schedule or whenever you ask. For a crown it lists the tooth, each step we expect and the fee for each.

Katia checks your plan's benefits before your first visit and tells you what the plan says it pays. The plan makes the final decision when the claim comes in.

About an hour: a talk about what is wrong, an exam by Dr. Sorensen, X-rays only if she needs them and a written estimate before treatment. Fill in your health history on our private patient portal, not by email or in the contact form.
