your first visit

Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. Occasionally, surgery can be performed the same day as the consultation. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan will require medical clearance and a second appointment to provide treatment on another day.

PLEASE ASSIST US BY PROVIDING THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION AT THE TIME OF YOUR CONSULTATION:

  • Your surgical referral slip describing what you need to be evaluated for and any x-rays if available. These are typically given to you by your regular dentist or emailed directly to our office prior to your consultation.
  • A list of medications you are presently taking.
  • If you have medical or dental insurance,please bring your identification cards. Some procedures require being submitted to the medical plan while sometimes a dental benefit plan will request an EOB (explanation of benefits) from your medical carrier. Please be sure to bring BOTH cards to your consultation appointment.
  • Photo Identification.

IMPORTANT: ALL PATIENTS UNDER THE AGE OF 18 MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN AT THE CONSULTATION VISIT.

Please alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to surgery (i.e., diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are currently taking any medication (i.e., heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.).

X-RAYS

To help minimize your out of pocket expense, please bring any x-rays from your dentist or physician. We will make every effort to use those x-rays; Sometime they do not show us exactly what we need to see, in this event we will take new x-rays at our office.

Your dentist can email digital x-rays to us at: Office@myoralsurgeon.com. If they do not have digital x-rays, please be sure to pick up copies and bring with you to your initial consultation.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

It is important to remember that most insurance/benefit plans seldom pay 100% of necessary treatment. Please keep in mind that the benefit package chosen by your employer group is ultimately the determining factor on what is and what is not a covered expense, regardless of what you actually need. After your consultation and treatment planning with one of our surgeons, we will be happy to submit an insurance pre-determination to help you identify your available benefits. While we will do our best to help you optimize your benefits, it is crucial for you to understand the requirements/limitations and access restrictions of your insurance/benefit plan as well as your estimated expense. Our goal is to deliver patient focused oral surgery treatment at a reasonable cost to our patients, therefore payment is due at the time service is rendered. For your convenience, we accept Cash, Visa and MasterCard. We offer patient financing directly through CareCredit and Lending Club.

PLEASE REMEMBER YOU ARE FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL FEES REGARDLESS OF COVERAGE AND/OR IF YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY DEEMS TREATMENT TO NOT BE DENTALLY/MEDICALLY NECESSARY.

Should we participate with your insurance benefit plan, we will collect your estimated co-payment at the time of surgery. In addition, we will also require a complete financial guarantee to be kept on file. This financial guarantee is completed in the office and retained until your account is fully settled.

We will send you a monthly statement so that you are aware of your account status. Most insurance plans remit final payment within 4-6 weeks. Please call our office if your statement does not reflect your insurance payment within that time frame. Any remaining balance after your insurance has paid is your responsibility.

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS REGARDING YOUR ACCOUNT, PLEASE CONTACT OUR OFFICE AT (757) 412-2002.
