Patient Information
Appointment
The first step towards a beautiful, healthy smile is to schedule an appointment. Please contact our office by phone or complete an online appointment request.
Payment Options
For your convenience, we accept cash, personal checks, money orders, and most major credit cards. Payment is expected at the time services are performed. Feel free to contact our office if your treatment plan requires more comprehensive dental work and you want to discuss financial arrangements.
Dental Insurance
Drs. Rudersdorf ,Gaspard, and Rudersdorf and their staff are committed to providing the best treatment for patients and we charge what is usual and customary for the Midwest Region. You are responsible for payment regardless of any insurance company's arbitrary determination of usual and customary rates. We file claims as a courtesy to our patients. We will not become involved in disputes between you and your insurance company regarding deductibles, co-payments, covered charges, secondary insurances, etc., other than to provide factual information as necessary. You are responsible for the timely payment of your account.
Your insurance coverage is a contract between you and your insurance company. We are not a party to the contract. If you have insurance, we will help you receive maximum benefits and will file your dental claims for you. If we file your insurance, you must pay any copayments and deductibles at the time of service. Your assistance will be required if payment from your insurance company has not been received within 90 days of filing.
In the event that we accept assignment of benefits, the patient is still ultimately responsible for all charges. If your insurance company has not paid your account in full within 90 days, the balance is due in full from the patient and /or guarantor.
Financial Policy
Your clear understanding of our financial policy is important to our professional relationship. The following is a statement of our financial policy that we require you to read prior to any treatment. Please ask if you have any questions regarding our fees, financial policies, or your responsibility.
All patients must complete our patient information form before receiving treatment.
