Payment Policy
Cash payments for Dental Work
Cash, check, or charge payments are due at the time of service. We do our best to estimate the total cost for our patients
The concept of paying cash verses using insurance is becoming foreign to most because of the marketing tactics of the insurance companies. Their efforts to deceive the public and pillage dentistry in today's world is unprecedented.
I admire the small segment of the wise public that sees this and refuses to buy insurance. As a result, I offer discounts for cash.
Our cash discounts for dental work are real ones you directly benefit from without the gimmicks, small print loop holes insurance companies use to deny you these benefits and discounts.
Insurance companies broker patients to dentists under contract (CONTROL) who cut corners so they can to do it their discounted way. This saves them money not you and it's why their in-network dentists are "prefered".
When you go in network you're getting your discount but it's a discount out of honest high quality dentistry.

"I am grateful to have found Dr. Castellano. I needed a second opinion on a proposed treatment plan that was incredibly extensive and expensive. Dr. Castellano listened to my concerns, made his own assessment, and created a treatment plan with several options on how to approach the issues I was experiencing. Now having had the work done I can say I'm so thankful I found him. In just a few months he was able to restore my bite and fix several issues I had been experiencing." Tara

This past week I went in for a crown and a filling. I mentioned some other problem I had with a old filling he was able to take care it right then and there. He is also a perfectionist in his craft.
This is definitely a great dentistry for any one who needs a great dentist." Keith D

In Network Versus Out of Network Dental Why we choose to be out!
Please read!
We are proudly out of network with all insurance companies, which means we have no contract restrictions compromising honest quality dental work across a full range or procedures. Close attention is paid to details. We spend time listening to and informing our patients in a traditional doctor patient way.
We sell dental services directly to the public. Treatment is based on sound dental procedures and years of clinical practice. We price our work for what we can do it for. Your money goes directly into high quality conservative treatment versus the run around opposite way doing it network insurance way.
Insurance companies sell policies not dental services. Their in network dentists are under contract to honor these discounts so they pick and choose what they can make money on. The limited discounted procedures that in network providers can make money forces: restricting appointment times, understaffing, using low cost materials, and cut rate dental labs. All of this lends to low quality results and a poor patient experience.
What they can't make money on is referred out where none of these promised discounts and freebies you bought the insurance policy for are ever realized. What is referred is not based on the dentist's ability to do the procedure so much as it is what he is willing to do for the money the insurance contract he agreed to as a prefered provider mandates. It's a dishonest way to treatment plan a patient and why we are out of network.
It's a destructive trend in which corporations are plundering the profession by seizing it at the patient level through clever marketing and false promises and deceptive discounts. It's a trend the insurance companies unfortunately are winning becuase the vast market share of the patients they direct. It's at the expense of professional intergrity among growing numbers of dentists forced into servicing these plans. It's also tragically at the expense of the unaware policy holder becasue they are mislead into low qaulity ethically compromised dentistry.
"You do not need dental insurance to go to the dentist and in most cases are better off without it!" Dr Castellano

Third-Party Insurance Payments
We are out of network with all insurnace companies. We use our fee schedule not the insurance company's in network fee schedule. They do not provide us their fee schedule. In some cases their fee schedule is lower than ours, in such instances patient pays the difference.
Our out of network payment policy is as follows:
preventative/ diagnostic (exams, prophy, x-rays)
codes D0000-D1999
We collect the patinet % portion day of service. Send claim off to insurance company and wait for insurance % payment. If the insurance payment is less than what we have estimated the patient is billed the difference.
Basic work (fillings)
Code D2000-D2699
We collect the patinet % portion day of service. Send claim off to insurance company and wait for insurance % payment. If the insurance payment is less than what we have estimated the patient is billed the difference.
Major work ( everything else: crowns implants dentures root canals extractions ect ect)
code D2700-D9999
We bill the patient 100% upfront on the day of service and send the claim off to the insurance company. When the payment from the insurance company is recieved we reimburse 100% of this amount back to the patient.
We do our best to estimate the patient portion of major work based on previous experiences with them. We do not file predeterminations as they are often inaccurate to what insurance actually does.
Our knowledgeable staff handles all the claims for your convenience This process usually takes 30 days
Note: insurance is no gaurantee of payment and any unpaid or denied amount is the patient's responsibilty.
