Financial Policy

At our practice, we’re dedicated to delivering exceptional dental care using the most advanced materials and state-of-the-art technology. Our clinical and administrative teams work seamlessly together to create a welcoming environment for every visit, offering personalized support for your financial needs. Please feel free to speak with any member of our friendly administrative staff to discuss the options available to you.


Insurance
We are happy to file dental claims on behalf of families with dental insurance. Please note that filing a claim does not guarantee payment. The parent or guardian remains ultimately responsible for payment of services rendered, regardless of insurance coverage. At Dental Land Pediatrics, our relationship is with you—our patient—not with your insurance company. Dr. Abioro recommends treatment based solely on your child’s needs, not on what insurance will pay. We will do everything possible to maximize your benefits; however, your insurance policy is an agreement between you, your employer, and/or the insurance company, and our practice is not a party to that agreement.


Payment
Your estimated co-payment—the portion of your treatment not covered by insurance—is due at the time services are provided. All completed treatments will be submitted to your insurance company. Please be aware that your estimated co-payment may be adjusted after treatment once the final insurance reconciliation is received. If payment from your insurance company is not received within 60 days of the service date, you will be responsible for any outstanding balance.


Payment Methods
For your convenience, we accept cash, debit cards, MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and CareCredit®. Please note that we do not accept personal checks.


Divorce/Separation
The party responsible for the account prior to a divorce or separation remains liable for that account. After a divorce or separation, the parent or guardian who brings the child in for treatment and authorizes services will be responsible for subsequent charges. If the divorce decree requires the other parent to pay all or part of the treatment costs, it is the authorizing parent’s responsibility to collect from them. Additional copies of receipts are available upon request. Please note that we do not split bills.


Additional Policies

  • Insurance Information: Your complete insurance information and card must be presented at the time services are provided and kept up to date. Although most benefits are verified before billing, it remains your responsibility to understand your insurance coverage.
  • Claim Filing: We reserve the right to discontinue or refuse to file a claim based on a prior negative experience with an insurance company.
  • Fee Disclosure: We aim to inform all patients of the fees for planned treatment. However, if this information is not provided, it is your responsibility to inquire before treatment begins.
  • Patient Dismissal: We reserve the right to dismiss a patient from our practice for failure to comply with our financial policies.
