At Dr. Howard Schapiro & Associates, Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, our mission is
to provide quality, affordable treatment!
The treatment plan will include a breakdown of all applicable fees, and we will inform you of all costs before treatment is administered. Payment is expected at the time treatment is rendered, unless special arrangements have been made prior to your appointment.
We accept all major credit cards and offer financing options, including making interst-free monthly payments through CareCredit®.
Also, for your convenience, we can arrange automatic, monthly payments made through your credit card or checking account for your orthodontic balances.
We thoroughly explain our payment options, so that we can accommodate you or your child’s needs.
Insurance
Additionally, we will submit all insurance claims for you for your convenience. If your insurance covers orthodontic treatment, you or your child will receive the benefit of reduced personal costs. Many insurance policies have a lifetime orthodontic benefit that is distinct from regular dental insurance. Remember that insurance policies vary, and we will review your insurance to determine the appropriate course of action.
We will fully attempt to help you or your child receive full insurance benefits. However, you are personally responsible for your account, and we encourage you to contact us if your policy has not paid within 30 days.
