Dr. Gelfand tries to make dental care accessible to as many people as possible, so she has the following Fees policies at
Bolton Park Dentistry: Fees charged by Dr. Gelfand and Bolton Park Dentistry are within the range of fees suggested in the current Suggested Fee Guide of the Ontario Dental Association.
Please note payment for services is the responsibility of the patient and is due, in full, on the date services are performed, unless prior financial arrangements have been made with us.
- We understand dental services can be a large expense for many households and we provide estimates for treatment plans so patients know what to expect prior to consenting to proceed with treatment.
- For most major treatments (crowns, bridges, implants), we may be able to establish an interest-free payment plan which fits your budget--please contact us for details.
We are pleased to offer patients a number of options for payment:
We accept VISA, MASTERCARD, DISCOVER, DEBIT/INTERAC, CASH and ASSIGNMENT OF DENTAL INSURANCE BENEFITS as a courtesy for patients with eligible plans.
- Please note, many dental insurance plans only pay a percentage of the fees for services and some benefits are based upon Suggested Fee Guides from years past. Regardless of the amount covered under an individual insurance benefit, it is the patient's responsibility to pay the difference (or co-payment) between the full fee and what is paid by insurance carriers under the terms of your individual plan. This co-payment is due at the time services are provided.
More about Dental Insurance
Please note,
not all dental insurance carriers allow Assignment of Benefits to the dentist. Please check directly with your employer or dental insurance company to confirm whether you can Assign the Benefits under the terms of your plan.
- If your plan is non-assignment eligible, we are happy to still submit the claim on your behalf either electronically or by mail, but you will be required to pay in full for the services when they are received and you will subsequently be reimbursed directly by your insurance carrier.
We
encourage patients to have current information on their dental insurance plans so they are aware of the benefits for which they are eligible and remain covered.
With your consent, we are
happy to submit pre-determinations to insurance carriers, on your behalf, prior to beginning treatment so you can be informed as to the extent and availability of coverage for proposed treatments.
