We understand that the rising cost of healthcare can be a major roadblock for people trying to access dental care. In response, Belfast Dental Care is offering a number of creative and convenient ways to help our patients pay for the care they need. Dr. Piper and her team share your concern and are prepared to offer you a number of payment options. When you come into our office we will discuss the payment option best suited for you, and we’ll assist you with all the arrangements. Explore your options below and don’t hesitate to ask us about them when we see you next!
Direct Payment Options: Generally, payment is due in full from patients on the day treatment is provided. We accept cash, check, debit cards, and major credit cards (Visa, M/C, Discover, and American Express). You can even make a payment online!
Dental Savings Plan: Here’s how it works: you pay a modest monthly membership fee and all of your regular preventive care is included at no additional cost. That means all the things you would normally have done on your regular visits with your dental hygienist—cleaning or periodontal maintenance, all necessary x-rays, fluoride treatments, doctor’s periodic exam—are covered 100%. In addition to the routine procedures, DenVantage members receive significant savings on a wide range of dental services such as fillings, root canals, crowns, dentures, and much more! Enroll today quickly and easily online! If you want more information, download the brochure here or call the office and we’ll gladly answer any questions you may have.
Employer-Provided Benefits: Be sure to check with your employer, many companies offer Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HAS), allowing you to pay for your care on a pre-tax basis using a simple debit card.
Credit Financing: We have also partnered with CareCredit—the credit card designed specifically for your health and wellness needs to pay for out-of- pocket expenses not covered by your dental insurance. Special short and long-term financing options are available that you may not be able to get with other cards. Once you've applied, you can use it again and again at any location that accepts CareCredit. Find out immediately if you have been approved by using our easy, automated system anytime. Instant credit decisions!
Follow this link to Apply Online or contact them by phone and speak to a live CareCredit agent: (800) 677-0718 (must be 21 and over to apply).Courtesy Claims Submission: We accept payment from most dental insurance plans and will process your claim to reduce your out of pocket expense and spare you the need to file your own claim with your dental insurance company—gladly submitting claims on your behalf to any primary dental insurances that allow out-of-network providers.
Paying Your Share: The difference between the estimated insurance contribution (our best estimation, not a guarantee of payment) and the fee for our services is due in full on the day of each visit. Keep in mind that when trying to use your dental insurance, it’s a relationship between the insured (you) and the insurance carrier (the insurance company). Belfast Dental Care is limited to whether or not we can act on your behalf and what information we have access to. When using your dental insurance benefits here, please be aware:
We never want to turn away someone that is in pain. Please call the Practice Manager at (207) 338-3669 (select Option #4) and ask about how we can help!
