Financial Policy

Patient Billing

Fees vary with the complexity of the case.  An evaluation will be performed and a fee estimate will be provided prior to beginning treatment.  For your convenience we accept cash, checks, credit cards, HSA cards and Care Credit. 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 Clearwater Endodontics - Clarkston Office Phone Number 509-758-4181 or 208-882-2986. 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.

We will send you a monthly statement. Most insurance companies will respond within four to six weeks. Please call our office if your statement does not reflect your insurance payment within that time frame. Any remaining balance after your insurance has paid is your responsibility. Your prompt remittance is appreciated. 

Insurance

Our financial coordinator will work to maximizing your insurance benefits.  We will be happy to answer any questions concerning your co-payment if you intend to use dental insurance.  

We would like you to bring your insurance card when you come for your appointment.  This will help us process your claim more accurately and efficiently.  We will call your insurance company to determine an estimated percentage of the total fee to be paid at this time.  Although this office files insurance claims as a service to the patient, the insurance contract is between the patient and the insurance company.  We ask you to pay your patient percentage, estimated by your insurance company, on the day of treatment.  Please direct any questions about insurance coverage to your insurance company.
