General Information
We are glad to be in network providers for many insurance companies. It is essential for you to know that as part of the Affordable Care Act, one the mandates contained in the law is that every policy must offer dental health care to children. Regardless of the type of plan you have, Miami Children’s Smiles will always abide by the fees of your insurance as long as payment is received in the contracted manner.
For your tranquility we pre-authorize most operative procedures, meaning that estimated treatments are sent to your insurance company for authorization, leaving us and you to be reassured that your out pocket, deductibles and co-payment obey to the right charges to you.
In order to set up an appointment, you and/or your child must have an active dental policy. If you come as a self pay patient, we would offer you our customary fees. Please understand that in the State of Florida, proof or insurance eligibility is NOT a warranty of payment. Even after our services are rendered, your insurance company may deny payment on the basis of a retroactive policy termination; leaving you responsible for the payment of such services.
Make sure to read and understand our financial policy and the way we operate when dealing with your insurance company.
