Some insurance companies will pay a portion
of the orthodontic fee. Since there are countless agreements
between insurance companies and patients, it is impossible
for our office to keep track of all policies. Because of this
variance, it is our office policy to have insurance benefits
sent directly to our patients.
In most cases orthodontic insurance benefits pay a portion
of the total fee up to the lifetime maximum allowed by your
policy. The lifetime maximum is released in installments,
designated by your particular insurance policy, over the course
of treatment. The installments are sent directly to you. Most
insurance companies do not require monthly submissions after
the initial claim has been processed. During your treatment
we ask that you stay current with payment to our office as
agreed in your contract, regardless of when you receive checks
from your insurance company
Our office will send you an insurance claim form when the
appliance placement appointments have been scheduled with
our office. The form will include directions for completion
and submission to your insurance company. The information
needed by the insurance company in order to reimburse you
is contained in the form.
If you have any questions about your account with us, please
feel free to contact our office at 610-374-4097. If you have
specific questions about your orthodontic insurance benefits,
please call your insurance carrier or your employer’s
benefit office.
