Dental Insurance
If we have received your current dental insurance information at the time of your appointment, Dr. Samia Rageb Hempel and our team will be happy to file your claim for you. In order to file your claims, we will need a copy of your dental policy. Your employer is legally required to give you a copy of your policy; please be familiar with your insurance benefits.
At each appointment, you will be expected to pay the estimated fee which the insurance will not cover. By law, your insurance company is required to pay each claim within 30 days of receipt. We file all claims within a day of treatment. You are responsible for any balance on your account after 30 days whether or not your insurance has made a payment. We will be glad to send a refund once your insurance has paid us. After 60 days with no payment, an account is considered delinquent.
It is your responsibility to keep us informed of any changes with your dental insurance in order to avoid delays in filing claims and receiving timely payments.
*Please understand that we file your claims as a courtesy to you. You are ultimately responsible for your insurance. We are not responsible for how your insurance company handles its claims or for what benefits they pay on a claim. We also are willing to submit a pre-treatment estimate on your behalf before the work is scheduled to find out what kind of coverage you can expect. We cannot be responsible for any errors in filing your insurance claims, as we file your claims as a courtesy to you. Please understand that we base our recommended treatment on what is best for your oral health and not on what your insurance plan covers.
