Financial Policy

At Oral Surgery + of Baton Rouge, we are dedicated to providing top-notch care while making the financial aspects of your treatment as clear and manageable as possible. Our financial policy is designed to help you understand your responsibilities and avoid any surprises when it comes to payment and insurance coverage.

Payment Options

• Insurance: We accept a variety of dental insurance plans, including Medicaid. Be sure to bring your insurance card and a valid photo ID to your appointment. Our team will verify your coverage and help you understand your benefits.
• Credit Cards: We accept all major credit cards, including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
• Cash and Checks: Payments can also be made via cash or personal checks.
• Financing: We offer flexible financing options to help manage the costs of your care. We can discuss payment plans that suit your budget and needs.

Insurance Claims

• Claim Submission: Our administrative team will submit your insurance claims and work with your provider to facilitate the reimbursement process.
• Coordination of Benefits: If you have multiple insurance plans, we will assist in coordinating your benefits.
• Patient Responsibilities: While we strive to provide accurate information about your insurance coverage, it is ultimately your responsibility to understand your benefits and any out-of-pocket expenses.

Payment Expectations

• Co-Payments and Deductibles: Any co-pays, deductibles, or services not covered by insurance must be paid at the time of service.
• Balances: If there is any remaining balance after insurance has paid its share, it will be your responsibility. We will send you a statement for any outstanding balance, which is due upon receipt.
• Pre-Authorization: For certain procedures, your insurance may require pre-authorization. We will help you obtain this authorization to ensure your coverage.

Cancellation and No-Show Policy

• Cancellations: If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please give us at least 24 hours’ notice so we can accommodate other patients.
• No-Show Fee: If you miss an appointment without prior notice, a no-show fee may apply.

Financial Assistance

• Assistance Programs: We offer financial assistance programs for qualifying patients. Please speak with our financial coordinator to explore your options.

We are here to assist you with any questions regarding our financial policy and to help guide you through the payment process. Don’t hesitate to contact Oral Surgery + of Baton Rouge if you need any support. Your oral health and satisfaction are our top priorities.
