Financial Policy
For your convenience we accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. We deliver the finest care at the most reasonable cost to our patients, therefore payment is due at the time service is rendered unless other arrangements have been made in advance. If you have questions regarding your account, please contact us at (803) 438-1845. Many times, a simple telephone call will clear any misunderstandings.
Please remember you are fully responsible for all fees charged by this office regardless of your insurance coverage.
Insurance
We are happy to bill both your primary and secondary insurance carriers as a courtesy to our patients. Please understand that each patient is ultimately responsible for the cost of services rendered. Your insurance policy is a contract between you, your employer, and the insurance company. We are not a party to that contract. Our financial relationship is with you, not your insurance company.
All charges are your responsibility whether your insurance company pays or not. All services may not be covered by your insurance contract. If the insurance company does not pay your balance in full within 30 days, we will ask that you contact the carrier to help speed things up. If the insurance company does not pay in full within 60 days, you are required to pay the balance due. We will do our best to estimate insurance coverage and patient portions due. If the insurance company does not pay the full amount anticipated, the patient is responsible for the difference. Payment is expected within 10 days after the statement date.
CareCredit
Many patients put off treatments and procedures because they cannot afford to pay. We offer CareCredit payment options as an alternative to consumer credit cards, cash or checks. CareCredit allows you to pay over time instead of a lump sum prior to treatment. You can apply directly from our website using the following link:
