In accordance with HIPAA Guidelines, we must have your permission to call you and/or leave a message. Please indicate below all of the ways we may get in touch with you.

HIPAA prevents us from disclosing any information about you to anyone (other than your medical and dental providers) without your permission.

PATIENT CONSENT TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION:

Existing Michigan Law also requires us to first obtain your written consent prior to disclosing any of your information, except for our disclosures in connection with a defense to a claim challenging our professional competence, a review entity’s functions, a claim for payment of fees, a third-party payer’s examination of our records, a court order as part of a criminal investigation, an identification of a dead body, a licensure investigation, or a child abuse/neglect investigation. From time to time, it may be necessary for us to make disclosures of your information in connection with your treatment, to obtain payment for services we rendered, or for healthcare operations. For example, we may make a referral to or consult with another dentist or other healthcare professional, provide a specimen to a laboratory for testing, or otherwise make disclosures of your information in connection with providing or coordinating your treatment.

Patient: I consent to your disclosures of my information that you deem necessary in connection with my treatment at your office, treatment of me by another physician or healthcare provider, to obtain payment for services you rendered, or healthcare operations. I understand that such disclosures may not be of the type listed above.

FINANCIAL POLICY

Payment is due in full on the date of service. We accept cash, checks, Visa®, Mastercard®, Discover®, American Express®, and alternative financing through CareCredit® and Greensky®.

TREATMENT PLANS:

Treatment plans are estimates only. Actual fees can change if the actual surgery performed changes. Fees given are not guaranteed after six months.

PATIENTS WITH INSURANCE:

We collect the amount in full on the day of your appointment (consult/imaging/surgery). As a courtesy, we will submit insurance claims for you. Providing our office with accurate medical and dental insurance information will help us expedite your insurance reimbursement. This payment will go to you directly. Please remember you are responsible for all fees charged by this office regardless of your insurance coverage. Please contact your insurance company for specific details about coverage and reimbursement.

FINANCE FEE:

After 90 days, any balance unpaid by you is considered past due and is due in full. A finance fee of 1.5% is added monthly to your past due account. This represents an annual percentage rate of 18%.

RETURNED CHECKS:

To cover the office costs involved, a $25.00 fee will be added to your account balance for checks returned for any reason.

AUTHORIZATION TO RELEASE INFORMATION:

Advanced Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Studio may release information acquired in the course of examination and/or treatment for insurance claims processing and/or legal purposes as required by law.

MINORS:

If the patient is age 17 or younger, they are a minor. A parent or guardian must accompany the patient for treatment. We realize that many families are in a state of change; divorced, separated, single-parent, and blended families are now common. In many of these families, the question of who is responsible for the children’s account is uncertain. The policy in our office is that the parent who requests treatment for the child is responsible for all fees incurred. Settlement must be resolved between the parents.

PATIENTS WITH GUARDIANS:

A patient who cannot consent to treatment has a legal guardian. Our office will need a complete health history prior to the day of any treatment. A guardian must be available to discuss patient care and treatment with the doctor.

It is our privilege to serve your oral surgery care needs. If you have any questions about our financial policy after reviewing it, please contact our business office. Thank you for trusting us with your care.

I understand that I am personally responsible for the charges incurred for the services I receive.

I agree to pay all reasonable attorney fees and costs of collection incurred by AOS if my account is not paid as agreed. I also agree to pay interest on my unpaid balance at the rate of 18% per annum, commencing 90 days after the date of service. I hereby authorize AOS, at its discretion, to bill my insurance carrier and any other persons or parties who may be liable for payment of these services.
