New patients
We ask that new and emergency patients pay in full for their initial appointment, this helps to establish a payment history in our office. If you have insurance we will ask you to pay any estimated co-pays or deductibles.
Insurance patients
As a courtesy to our patients, Southern Oregon Dental will be happy to bill your insurance company for you. However, you will be asked to pay your co-pays and deductibles at the time of service, and any balance remaining after your insurance pays is payable by the patient/accountholder. While we are happy to bill all insurance companies, Southern Oregon Dental is a participating provider with Advantage Dental only. Payment options Southern Oregon Dental offers a 5% cash discount for patients who pay their charges in full on the day services are rendered. Payments must be made with cash or check, this discount does not apply to payments made with a credit or debit card, or to insurance co-pays. We also offer our senior patients and additional 5% discount for paying in full at the time of service with cash, check or credit card.
Payment plans
Because Southern Oregon Dental wants you to be able to afford your treatment, we offer an in-office payment plan which will allow you to extend payment on some charges over four months. Please ask our friendly staff about the details when you call to schedule your appointment.
Sometimes four months just isn't enough time and that's why Southern Oregon Dental accepts Care Credit. If you need a more extensive payment plan, care credit might be the option for you. Care Credit offers revolving credit accounts similar to a Visa account that can be used to pay for your healthcare needs in offices that accept care credit. We can process and submit your application in the office, or you can visit their website and apply.
