Office Policies and Financial Agreement:
Please read carefully and feel free to ask any questions you may have before signing in agreement below.
Your appointment will begin with a consultation. This includes an exam and any necessary x-rays. For
your consultation today you will be responsible for $195-$295. We will make every effort to acquire and use any x-
rays you have had recently, but in order to ensure the diagnostic quality of the images and in the interest of
keeping our appointments running on time, it is often necessary to take our own x-ray. X-rays are critically
necessary to your consultation and diagnosis. Any x-rays will be completed at no additional cost as part of your
consultation. We want to make sure you understand your treatment, your options and your financial
responsibility before you agree to proceed with treatment. Following the exam, all findings and treatment
recommendations will be clearly presented and the costs to proceed with these recommendations will be
discussed with you before treatment begins. The cost of a root canal can range from $1500-$2500 depending on
the location of the tooth and its severity. I _________ understand that once I have agreed to proceed with
treatment I am responsible for all fees as presented to me for this service.
In an effort to do our part for the environment we have eliminated paper statements. As such, payment
is expected in full at the time services are rendered. We gladly accept Cash, Visa, MasterCard, Discover and
American Express, as well as flex spending. We have also partnered with Care Credit to offer 6 month interest free
or 24 month fixed interest financing options (upon approval).
Patients with dental insurance please read the following information about your benefits and their effect on
your financial responsibility.
We are happy to accept all PPO dental insurances and we are in-network with some. We do not accept
HMO or medical insurances. Your insurance is a contract between you and your insurance company. As a courtesy
the financial representatives of Advanced Endodontics will help you understand how your benefits may be applied
toward your treatment and will submit claims on your behalf to your insurance company. As part of this courtesy,
Advanced Endodontics will contact your insurance company and try to estimate what the insurance will pay and
the patient portion of payment expected for your services. I __________________ understand that my presented
co-pay is only an estimate and not a guarantee of any payment or reimbursement from my insurance company.
I understand that I am fully responsible for any payments due to Advanced Endodontics that are denied by my
insurance. As such, if there is still a balance due after your insurance has processed your claims you will be
notified of your balance and it will be charged to your card on upon receipt of final insurance payment or denial.
Likewise if the insurance pays more than expected and you are due a refund, the credit will be refunded to you
upon receipt of final insurance payment.
I have read the above and understand my full financial responsibility to Dr. Berlin for any and all services
rendered to me from this date forward regardless of my insurance coverage.
