Collection Policy

Beginning August 1st, 2023, payments based on pre-estimates or insurance allowances are due at the time of service. Children's Dentistry will submit claims to your primary insurance. Any estimated portion not covered by your insurance will be collected. Any previous balances will also be due at the time of new service. Appointments may be rescheduled if balances are not able to be paid in a timely manner. Please contact us for any questions.

Payment Plans

Our payment plans are maximum 6 months long and will be automatically processed. We require cards on file for all payment plans. Payments are due on the first of each month unless it falls on a weekend or holiday, in which case it will be the next business day. If we have not received payment within two weeks of the date of collection, a late fee of $50 will be applied to your account. If on the next due date we do not receive payment for both the missed month and the month due, your account could be sent to collections. You must create and sign a payment plan agreement with our office staff for a payment plan to be valid.

Please call us at (847) 662-7755 to schedule your appointment, or if you have any questions or concerns, you are welcome to contact us online with our contact form.
