INSURANCE & PAYMENTS
INSURANCE
The Insurance Department of Snodgrass-King is dedicated to servicing our patients while understanding insurance company’s policies and procedures. This keeps our office current on insurance plan or policy changes.
Once a patient is verified that they are eligible for benefits, a summary of their coverage is selected for their account. Once treatment is determined, a treatment plan will be entered in their account. We collect the patient portion at time of service and file an insurance claim for reimbursement to be paid directly to our office. Once the claim is processed any amount paid will be applied towards their account. Occasionally claims will be denied or more information will need to be provided. The insurance department will ensure that all means of reimbursement will be utilized. If there is a difference in the estimated insurance coverage and the actual amount paid or the claim is denied, then the patient is ultimately responsible for the balance. Patients must understand that our treatment plans are only an estimate and insurance companies are not always predictable.
Snodgrass-King accepts most dental insurance and discount plans, including Cover Kids. Please contact our office with specific questions.
Payment Policy: We will file your services to your insurance carrier; however, your portion of the bill is due at the time the services are rendered. We accept all major credit cards, checks and cash as forms of payment.
Cancellation Policy: We ask that you give us 24 hours’ notice in order to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
PAYMENTS
We’re committed to providing the highest quality dental care to all our patients. To keep things running smoothly and accommodate everyone, please review our missed appointment and financial guidelines. Thank you for working with us to ensure your family’s dental needs are met.
Payment is due at the time of service, and we accept cash, checks, and the following credit cards:

First Visit: We’ll ask you to pay the estimated percentage of your co-pay based on your insurance coverage.
Restorative & Sedation Appointments: We’ll file your insurance, but co-pays are collected in advance. For general or cosmetic dentistry, half of your estimated co-pay is required when booking the appointment, and the rest is due on the day of service. For sedation, full payment is required at the time of service.
