Financial Policy

Financial and Insurance Information

At Columbia Implants and Periodontics, our doctor(s) and staff are proud to be a team whose primary mission is to deliver the finest and most comprehensive periodontal services available today. We are concerned about your dental care and want to ensure you that it is performed in the most responsible manner. Your treatment plan will include a breakdown of all applicable fees, a predetermination will be submitted to your insurance and we will inform you of all costs before treatment is administered.

Our office is committed to helping you maximize your insurance benefits. Because insurance policies vary, we can only estimate your coverage in good faith but cannot guarantee coverage due to the complexities of insurance contracts. Your estimated patient portion must be paid at the time of service. We are a preferred provider for Delta Dental of Missouri’s premier plan, Cigna and Metlife (State policy/employees).  

As a service to our patients, we will bill insurance companies for services and allow them 45 days to render payment. After 60 days, you are responsible for the entire balance, paid-in-full. If you have any questions, our courteous staff is always available to answer them.Unfortunately, we do not accept outside financing options such as CareCredit or American Express. 

Emergency/Single-Visit Payments

For single-visit procedures, our policy is that payment is due in full at the time of service. For your convenience we accept cash, checks, money orders, and credit card payment (MasterCard, Visa, and Discover).
