Basic Insurance Information
At Melanie L. Throne, DDS, PA, we accept most major insurance providers. If you have additional questions, please call the office for more information. For your convenience, we will submit primary insurance claims to your indemnity or PPO insurance company. The payment of your estimated portion is due at the time of service. We make every effort to obtain accurate information from your insurance company when calling to verify eligibility and coverage. However, the information we receive from your insurance company is not a binding agreement for payment. Although we strive to offer you accurate estimates, it is impossible for us to calculate the exact amount your insurance will pay for certain procedures. Therefore, the amount we ask you to pay on the date of service is only an estimated amount. You will be responsible for any balance remaining after payment is received from your insurance company. If you have questions regarding your insurance, please contact our office. Our insurance coordinator is very familiar with insurance and will be happy to help you and assist with questions.
