Insurance
- Our goal at Belle Meade Smile Center is to provide the very highest quality dental care available at the most reasonable rate.
- Commercial insurance is often based on minimal levels of traditional treatments and will typically under-reimburse patients for the more modern, effective treatments.
- At Belle Meade Smile Center, we work with many insurance carriers.
- As a courtesy, our efficient office personnel will help you with billing your insurance provider for eligible treatments and assist you in obtaining reimbursement.
- We ask that you pay all estimated co-payments and deductibles for treatment at the time service is provided.
- Our estimates are subject to final approval by your insurance company which means the amount we calculate as due is subject to change.
- We strive to provide an accurate estimate of fees and insurance coverage before beginning treatment.
- However, due to variances and complexities of insurance contracts, we cannot guarantee when or how much your insurance will pay.
- Please remember that your account is your financial responsibility.
- You will owe any portion of the costs that your insurance does not pay.
