At Weiss Family Dentistry, we believe financial transparency is an important part of quality patient care. Before any treatment begins, we clearly explain your options, estimated costs, and insurance benefits so you can make confident, informed decisions.
Our goal is simple: provide honest dental care without surprises.
Dental Insurance
Weiss Family Dentistry accepts most major dental insurance plans. Our team will assist you in understanding and maximizing your benefits.
How Insurance Works
- Dental insurance is a contract between you and your insurance provider.
- Coverage levels vary depending on your specific plan.
- Deductibles, co-payments, and annual maximums apply.
- Cosmetic procedures may not be covered by insurance.
We file claims on your behalf as a courtesy. However, any portion not covered by your insurance plan remains the responsibility of the patient.
Estimated Patient Responsibility
Before treatment, we provide an estimate based on information supplied by your insurance company. Please understand:
- Estimates are not guarantees of payment.
- Insurance companies may change benefit determinations after claim review.
- Patients are responsible for any remaining balance.
If you have questions about your plan, our front office team is happy to help.
Payment Options
Payment is due at the time services are rendered unless prior arrangements have been made.
We accept:
- Cash
- Personal checks
- Major credit cards
- Approved third-party financing
We discuss fees clearly before beginning any treatment. You will always understand your financial commitment before proceeding.
CareCredit Financing
For patients who prefer to spread out payments, we offer financing options through CareCredit (if applicable).
CareCredit may allow qualified patients to:
- Make monthly payments
- Manage larger treatment plans more comfortably
- Receive necessary care without delay
Approval and terms are determined directly by CareCredit. Our team can assist you with the application process if needed.
Treatment Planning & Financial Transparency
Before recommending cosmetic, restorative, or periodontal treatment, we provide:
- A detailed explanation of your condition
- Treatment options
- Clear cost estimates
- Expected insurance contribution (if applicable)
We do not pressure patients into unnecessary treatment. Our approach is straightforward and experience-based.
Out-of-Network & PPO Plans
If we are considered out-of-network with your insurance provider:
- You may still use your benefits
- Your plan may reimburse a portion of the cost
- Our office can submit claims on your behalf
Many PPO plans allow patients to choose their dentist freely. We can help you understand how your specific plan applies.
