Payment for Services

Business Office: (706) 721-0502  |  Insurance Office: (706) 721-0345

Patients must understand their financial obligations for dental services before treatment begins so they may plan their finances accordingly. Individual treatment plans and fees will be discussed with patients before treatment begins. In general, the following guidelines will apply:

1. Payment for each appointment will be made, in full, on the day of the appointment. Payment may be made with cash, check or credit card.
2. Limited installment plans for payment of extensive treatment plans may be arranged in the Business Office, before treatment begins.
3. Patients with verified dental insurance may specify that the payments be made directly to the dental school. In order to verify insurance coverage, patients must provide the Business Office with their personalized insurance identification card during their initial appointment in the dental school. Payments made by the insurance company will be credited to the patients' account with the balance payable to the patient. As most insurance companies do not pay 100% of dental treatment fees, patients are responsible for the total amount due, regardless of insurance coverage.
4. Patients may make payment arrangement with an outside financial institution, commercial bank or credit card company
