FEE-FOR-SERVICE

When looking for a dentist, many wonder...

"Do we take your insurance?"
The short answer is “YES”. We are what you may have heard of as “an out of network provider.”
What does this mean for you?
This means that, yes, your insurance will cover your dental work in our office, but your out of pocket investment will be slightly higher. 
Why still choose us?
Our dental office is what is called a FEE FOR SERVICE PRACTICE (FFS), meaning we haven’t blindly signed a contract with any insurance company. This allows us the freedom to provide higher dental and treatment care without being influenced by insurance by  having to “fit into the plan’s package”. All while keeping our fees below average.
If you are wanting to join the other 2,000 of our patients, here's why they have chosen us:
  • Schedule is not overcrowded (little to no wait times)
  • Exams and procedures are thorough
  • More time with patient
  • Freedom to decide what is best for patient's dental health
  • Higher quality labs and materials
  • Quality is the priority
  • We still accept your insurance with a slightly higher out of pocket investment
When a provider is contracted with an insurance company, they agree to reduce their fees by about 30% in exchange for them advertising to patients that they are “in network” and should go to that provider. Yes, you get lessor fees, but here is what you give up:
  • Appointments are double booked
  • Shorter appointment times
  • Cheaper materials
  • Lab work sent to lower quality facilities
  • Quantity is the priority
  • Treatment and dental care is dictated by the insurance plan
Providers must make these decisions in order to meet cost restrictions from having to reduce their fees by 30% from being an “in network” or contracted provider.  Since we are not losing that 30%, we can lower our fees to below the 50% average, yet still have enough profit to reinvest in your care.
