We, the staff of Somerset Periodontics & Dental Implants, thank you for choosing us as your dental provider. We believe your understanding of our financial policy is vital to the provider-patient relationship, and our goal is to keep communication open at all times.
We accept cash, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and personal checks. A $35.00 service fee will be charged for all returned checks. We also offer the convenience of keeping a credit card securely on file with your authorization.
Please remember that your insurance policy is a contract between you and your insurance carrier. As a courtesy, we will bill your insurance and help you receive the maximum allowable benefit under your plan. However, we ask that patients remain engaged in their claims process, as patients who communicate with their carrier tend to receive faster and more accurate payment.
It is your responsibility to provide current insurance eligibility, ID, authorization, and referral information, and to notify our office of any changes. Even a preauthorization does not guarantee payment. We are required by contract to collect copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles as outlined by your carrier.
Out-of-network carriers may limit benefits through reductions such as "reasonable and customary" or "usual and prevailing" limits. Our fees fall within standard ranges. While we will assist in filing appeals if such limitations are imposed, you as the guarantor remain responsible for all out-of-network fees. We do not negotiate reduced fees with carriers with whom we are not contracted.
Our goal is to provide the best quality periodontal care in a timely manner. To do so effectively, we have implemented the following cancellation and no-show policy. This allows us to better serve patients in urgent need of care.
Please call our office at (908) 218-0770. If you reach voicemail, leave a detailed message including your name, appointment date, and best callback number. You may also email us at smile@snjperio.com.
A "no-show" is defined as missing a scheduled appointment without providing at least 24 hours' notice. A no-show fee of $75 will be assessed. Patients with three or more no-shows may be asked to transition care to another provider.
Cancellations made less than 24 hours before your scheduled appointment time will be assessed a fee of $50, except in extraordinary circumstances at the discretion of our office.
