Cost

The cost of treatment depends on the severity of the patient’s problem. You will be able to discuss fees and payment options before your treatment begins. We have payment plans to suit different budgets, including a no-down-payment option.

We also accept assignments from most insurance plans and we will file the necessary papers to the insurance company. We work hard to make orthodontics affordable.

Fees

In an effort to keep orthodontic fees down while maintaining the highest level of professional care, we have established this financial policy:

  • If full payment is made at the onset of treatment, we will offer a discount. (If you have insurance, we will offer a discount for payment of your portion of the fee that will not be covered by insurance.)
  • To fit your individual needs, financial arrangements can be made to extend your payments over a period of months.
  • For your convenience, we accept payment by Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express
  • In cases of serious delinquency, treatment will be discontinued, although we will make every effort to accommodate patients with temporary difficulties.

How Orthodontic Insurance Works

Do We Accept Insurance?

YES, we accept all valid forms of insurance!

What We Need From You!

Please call in your insurance information before your first visit, so we can assist you in determining your benefit during your initial exam appointment. This will maximize the benefit of your first visit.

Our approach to insurance

Unlike insurance coverage for regular dental treatment, most orthodontic coverage typically has a lifetime maximum benefit for each insured individual for orthodontic services rendered. At Masri Orthodontics, the benefit will be credited to your total treatment fee and, as a convenience to you, we will accept payments directly from your insurance carrier. This benefit is generally paid monthly through the duration of treatment until the maximum benefit has been attained.

Since there are many different agreements between insurance carriers and their subscribers, we will gladly assist you in determining the coverage you have available.

In order to obtain your benefits for orthodontic coverage, you will need to provide us with your complete insurance information. From this information and the information obtained from the initial consultation appointment, we will be able to submit an insurance claim to your insurance carrier.

For medical reimbursement accounts, such as Flex Accounts, you may submit a copy of your account information provided by our office.
