It is the patient's responsibility to call and obtain a preauthorization if they would like reimbursement from their insurance company.
Because a preauthorization is not a guarantee of payment, every patient (except Medicaid patients) must pay the full amount due on the date of service. If requested, we will provide the patient with a detailed invoice they can submit to their insurance company.

To see if your insurance will provide coverage, use codes D9222 and D9223 for dental claims and 00170 for medical claims.

Yes, every patient (except Medicaid patients) must pay the full amount due on the date of service.

We are a Medicaid preferred provider. That means Medicaid patients do not pay anything on the date of service. The dental or medical office is responsible for checking to ensure that the patient is eligible for Medicaid on the day of service, as their eligibility can vary from month to month. We bill Medicaid and receive those payments directly for our anesthesia services, separate from your own Medicaid dental billing.
Medicaid Dental is also known as MCNA, Premier Access, and Fee for Service. Medicaid Heath is also known as Healthy U and SelectCare.

Care Credit may be used in the following manner. The dental office must agree to bill and process the Care Credit payment for anesthesia and then provide payment for the anesthesia with an office check on the date of service (minus the Care Credit fee of either 5.9% or 9.9%). The patient must agree to a term of payment of 12 months or less.
- 06
We are not Medicare providers. If a patient has Medicare, they must pay on the date of service.
