Payment Options at McMinn Orthodontics
The cost of treatment will vary depending on the severity and complexity of the condition being treated. Our office has several payment options available and will help you to find the option that best fits your situation. A list of our payment options follows:
Payment in Full
When an account is paid in full at the time of initial banding, or within 60 days after treatment commences there will be a bookkeeping courtesy discount given when paid by cash, check, or credit card.
Office Payment Plan
When treatment begins, an initial banding fee of $1,000 or 1/3 of the total treatment fee (whichever is less) is the down payment. The balance of the treatment fee is placed on an interest free monthly installment plan. The monthly payment can be set to automatically pay from a debit or credit card if desired. Payments are due anytime from the 1st of the month through the 25th day of the month. Finance charges are imposed on balances not paid within sixty (60) days of the due date.
Insurance Benefits
All patients or parents are ultimately responsible for the entire amount of their treatment fee.
Our office is dedicated to providing a positive orthodontic experience for every patient. That’s why we’re happy to guide you every step of the way through orthodontic insurance. This gives all of us something to smile about!
There are many different types of dental insurance plans, with various types of coverage.
Orthodontic insurance can be very complex, and sometimes difficult for patients or parents to fully understand the benefits to which they’re entitled. We will work with you to help you receive the reimbursement you deserve.
Co-Payments & Payment Plans
Since orthodontic insurance covers a portion of the total fee, our office will, in good faith, “extend an initial credit” to each patient or parent in the amount that we estimate your primary insurance plan will pay toward treatment.
