Orthodontic Specialists are not set up to e-file insurance payments.
Insurance: Office staff will provide pre-determination forms, and subsequent insurance forms, however, the subscriber must submit their own forms.
Payment Plans: All fees are broken down into an Initial Fee and Monthly payments.
We do not charge HST, or interest on our payment plans if paid in a timely manner. We have an interest free payment plan on accounts set up on auto-credit card or auto-debit.
Please contact the office if you are not going to be able to make payments on time, and discuss adjustments to the payment schedule.
However, if your account is behind and there is no activity on your account for ninety days after braces are removed, the account will be placed with our local Credit Bureau.
If an appliance is lost or broken (i.e. the dog chews it) there will be a lab cost only to remake it.
Splint wires and invisible retainers (retention retainers) have a 6 month guarantee (with the exception for lost retainers). After 6 months, there will be a charge for repairing the splint wire and/or lab cost for repair / replacement of invisible retainer.
