Financial Policy

We at Vineyard Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics are proud to be part of a team whose primary mission is to deliver the finest and most comprehensive health care available today. In addition, we are also dedicated to making top quality care as cost-effective as possible. To assist you with your healthcare investment at our office, we have provided the following information to help you understand how our office works with Insurance Companies and Patient Accounts. Vineyard Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics provides their services to you, not your insurance company. Because of this fact, you are responsible for payment of any bill incurred in this office. We cannot provide services assuming that the insurance company will come through with payment. Although as a courtesy to you, we will bill your insurance companies for charges incurred in this office. If payment has not been made by your insurance company within 60 days we will expect you to pay the balance in full. You are responsible for all deductibles and charges not covered by insurance. Please understand that we cannot, as a third party, become involved in prolonged insurance negotiations. That is Your Responsibility.

Our office is happy to be a preferred provider for many insurance companies. Our contract states we will provide a discount for their customers on covered benefits. Since your plan coverage and benefits are contracted between you and your insurance company it is your responsibility to know what your plan covers. Additionally, some insurance companies consider us a specialist, please be aware of this and what it may do to your covered benefits. Contact your insurance company to inquire if we are a preferred provider for your insurance.
