Insurance Information At Your Local Dental Clinic
At Tapestry Dental, your local dental clinic, we accept most forms of dental insurance. When you come for your first visit, please bring your dental insurance information with you.
As a courtesy to you, we will accept the assignment of benefits, meaning that we will bill and collect from your insurance carrier directly. Please be aware that your dental insurance is a contract between your employer and the insurance company. Our staff here at your local dental clinic will try to help you understand what your insurance covers, including types of procedures covered and financial limits, to the best of our ability. However, it is impossible for us to understand every detail of your insurance, and therefore we ask that you familiarize yourself with your dental insurance.
We are aware that some dental practices in our area may be writing off the patient co-payment. For example, if the insurance covers 80% of treatment, the patient’s 20% is waived. We require our patients to pay their co-payment, as we are obligated legally and ethically to do so. Furthermore, we need to charge a fair fee to offer a high quality service.
