financial information

Our anesthesia service is provided on an hourly rate that is based on the pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative care. Billed time starts with the placement IV and monitors and ends shortly after the completion of the treatment when the patient has control of his/her own airway. Included in this service is patient interview, health history review, explanation of the anesthesia service along with discharge instructions, and in some cases, obtaining medical clearance from a managing physician. Estimated cost of anesthesia service is dental procedure time plus 30 minutes.

Many insurance companies do not cover the cost of anesthesia for dental procedures. Therefore, patients should contact their dental and medical insurance companies to confirm coverage. Medical/Dental insurance codes are provided to those patients who wish to file a claim themselves for some type of reimbursement. Regardless of the insurance reimbursement, the patient is responsible for the payment of anesthesia service at the time of service. Prior arrangement for payment plans can be made before the day of service. Scheduled appointments are secured with credit card information. If there is a cancellation made within one week of the scheduled appointment, a $100 cancellation fee will be charged.
