Payment
Payment is required at the time services are rendered. We accept cash, check, Master Card, Visa, and debit cards as forms of payment. There will be a $35 fee for returned checks.
As a courtesy, we will file your primary insurance for you. You will be responsible for the remaining balance not covered by your insurance company, including all fares considered above your insurance company’s usual and customary fee schedule. The office cannot carry balances longer than 90 days, regardless of insurance payment. A $20 monthly re-billing charge will be added to your account if it is not paid within 90 days, regardless of balance amount.
Treatment Plans
Should your child require dental treatment, these needs will be discussed with you by one of our staff members. In most cases, an additional appointment(s) will be needed to complete the treatment. The payment amount provided to you on your child’s treatment plan is an estimate only, and you may be asked to pay the difference between what your insurance company actually paid and the fees incurred at the time of service.
Special Procedures
IV and GA Sedation – At Just for Kids Dentistry, we have the ability to treat patients under General Anesthesia in office/surgery center. Should your child require such treatment, these options will be discussed with you in detail. Depending on your insurance, a deposit may be required to reserve your surgery date. This deposit will apply to your balance. Once the appointment is scheduled, if you choose to cancel or reschedule the appointment this deposit is non-refundable. The deposit is required to schedule the appointment for both IV and GA Sedation; however, your estimated portion for treatment MUST be paid at least 3 days prior to the scheduled appointment.
Appointments
We request that, should you have to cancel or reschedule your child’s appointment, you provide us at least 24 hours notice. If 2 broken/missed appointments occur or 2 cancellations without at least 24 hours notice, we reserve the right NOT to schedule any subsequent appointments. We also reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee of $25.
Preventive Appointments – At all initial and recall exam appointments the following services will be completed for your child: exam, prophylaxis (cleaning), radiographs as deemed appropriate by Dr. Sakai for the exam, fluoride treatment, and preventive sealants.
Operative Appointments – We will make every attempt to treat your child in a manner that is safe for not only your child but also office staff.
We reserve the right to schedule certain types of appointments (fillings, extractions, cleanings, etc.) at specific times of the day.
