Fees and Insurance
Fees
Tooth number, number of canals involved and the complexity of the situation determine fees for root canal therapy. Our fees cover diagnosis, all necessary x-rays, anesthetics, treatment, and adherence to the recent CDC and OSHA guidelines regarding safety and asepsis.
There may be additional fees for surgical treatment, instrument or post removal, retreatment, or other procedures, should they become necessary.
Payment in full is expected at the time services are rendered. Payment may be made by cash, personal check, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express or Care Credit.
Insurance
As a courtesy, we will file insurance claims for you without charge. We will work to help you receive the maximum benefits provided by your policy; however, the agreement of the insurance to pay for your dental care is a contract between you and your insurance company. Insurance companies may reimburse at a lower rate than we estimate. When this occurs, you will be required to pay your “after insurance” balance.
Louisiana law requires that your insurance company process the claim within 30 days of receiving it. If you do not receive reimbursement in a timely manner, please contact your plan administrator or the insurance company directly.
