Mastercard, Visa, American Express, and Discover Cards are accepted in addition to cash and check payment.
If you have dental insurance, please make sure to have your current dental insurance card available for all dental visits. We'll gladly file a claim for the services provided; however, you are responsible to pay any deductibles or non-covered charges before you leave. If your policy is one that pays the patient directly (instead of the dentist), we ask that you pay all charges in full at the time of service; however, we will file a reimbursement claim for you.
Secondary Insurance: Due to the difficulty of receiving reimbursement from secondary insurers, we no longer file secondary claims; however, if you have coverage under more than one dental plan, we will file with your primary carrier and give you a Superbill to use for your secondary claim. Simply let us know that you have secondary coverage when you check out and we'll print the necessary forms before you leave.
If we've filed an insurance claim for you, you will be billed monthly regardless of the status of claim payment. It is the patient's responsibility to monitor the claim payment process to insure timely reimbursement. We're more than happy to refile a claim; should this be necessary. Simply contact our Insurance Department for assistance.
If you have questions concerning the charges associated with your visit, please contact us. Although there are some treatments we cannot estimate in advance, we will do our best to give you idea of projected expenses whenever possible.
As stated previously, Drs. Mello and Van Lanen ask that all amounts due be paid in full at the time of service and do not offer monthly payment arrangements through our Billing Department; however, we recognize that some dental treatments can be expensive and often occur when it's the least financially convenient.
To assist our patients with payment arrangements, we are pleased to offer the CareCredit card, the nation's leading patient payment program. With CareCredit you can finance 100% of your dental care and there are no upfront costs, no annual fees, and no pre-payment penalties. So, you can begin your treatment today and conveniently pay with low, monthly payments.

We also accept Chase Health Advance, offering convenient payment plans and no down payment required. Chase Health Advance finances the following procedures.
