Assignment of Benefits Agreement
For the office of
Spring Creek Family Dentistry & Orthodontics
Our practice will accept an assignment of benefits from your insurance company with the conditions listed below. It is important to
understand, though, that the agreement regarding your dental benefits is between you, your employer and your insurance
company the obligation you have with our practice is to pay for all treatment and services we provide to you, regardless of the
amount that may or may not be reimbursed by your insurance company. The following provisions identify our policies governing
insurance claims.
• Although we are willing to complete insurance information forms and submit a claim on your behalf, we do not accept
responsibility for the outcome of the transaction. Completing insurance forms is a courtesy we extend to you in an effort to
save you time and to facilitate payment to our practice from your insurance company. By having our practice process your
insurance forms, it is important that you understand that this does not eliminate your financial obligation for your treatment
• We require you to sign this agreement and/or any other necessary assignment documents that may be required by your
insurance company. This instructs your insurance company to make payment directly to our practice.
• We require you to pay the estimated copayment, which is the amount not covered by your insurance company, at the time
we provide service to you. The copayment is only an estimate of charges and may be found to be insufficient after review
by your insurance company.
• Insurance payments ordinarily are received within 30 days from the time of billing. If your insurance company has not
made payment to our practice within 30 days, we will ask you to pay the entire balance at that time. You will be responsible
for seeking reimbursement from your insurance company at that time.
• Our practice does not guarantee that your insurance company will pay for treatment you receive from our
practice. We perform routine insurance billing procedures upon verification of coverage. However, if your claim is denied,
you will be responsible for paying the full amount at that time.
• Our practice will not enter into a dispute with your insurance company over any claim, although we will provide necessary
documentation your insurance company requests to sort out any confusion or questions that may arise. We will cooperate
fully with the regulations and requests of your insurance company. It is ultimately your responsibility to resolve any type of
dispute over payments made or not made by your insurance company to our practice.
• WE DO NOT FILE WORKMANS COMP.
I HAVE READ AND ACCEPT THE TERMS AND CONDITINS OF THIS ASSIGNMENT OF BENEFITS AGREEMENT. I
AUTHORIZE MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO PAY MY DENTAL BENEFITS DIRECTLY TO THE PRACTICE

Financial Agreement
For the office of
Spring Creek Family Dentistry & Orthodontics
This agreement is to inform you of your financial obligation to our practice. We are committed to providing you with the most
comprehensive dental care, using only the highest quality materials and technology available in the market today. We are also
committed to providing you with up to date information and educational tools so that you may fully participate in maintaining
optimum oral health. This financial agreement is intended to facilitate our ability to provide excellent service to you while
minimizing our administrative cost.
All charges you incur are your responsibility regardless of your insurance coverage. We must emphasize that as your dental
care provider, our relationship is with you, our patient, not with your insurance company. Your insurance policy is an
agreement between you, your employer and the insurance company. Our practice is not a party to that agreement. If
payment from your insurance company is not received within (30) days from the date of service, you will be expected to pay
the balance in full.
As a courtesy to you we will help you process all your insurance claims. You may direct your insurance company to pay your
benefits directly to our practice by signing the authorization on the assignment of Benefits Agreement. In order for our practice
to file your insurance claim, you must bring a completed dental insurance form or proof of insurance at each appointment.
Your estimated copayment for treatment, which is the amount not covered by your insurance, is due at the time treatment is
provided. Your estimated copayment may be adjusted after the time of treatment depending upon the final reconciliation of
the insurance payments. Our practice accepts cash, personal checks, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Flex Spending Cards and
money orders for payment. Third party, extended payment financing is available upon request and approval with Care Credit.
Returned checks and balances older than 31 days will be subject to attorney’s fees of 33.33%, finance charges at the rate
of 1.5% per month (18% annually). An account over 31 days with a balance pending is your responsibility and we request
you follow up with your insurance company. Accounts over 60 days will be subject to our Collection Agency.
Additionally, our practice may charge you for appointments that you do not keep and for appointments that you do not
cancel within 48 hours business day notice.
Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions regarding this financial agreement. We are committed to providing
you with the ultimate experience in dental care.
