PATIENT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF OFFICE POLICIES/PROCEDURES

PLEASE USE THE RESTROOM (IF NEEDED), AS SOON AS YOU ARRIVE-BEFORE BEING SEATED IN THE OPERATORY
PLEASE TURN OFF AND/OR DO NOT USE YOUR CELL PHONE WHILE IN THE OPERATORY.

______ APPOINTMENTS: Proper dental care is only possible with your cooperation, which includes scheduling and returning for appointments. We will do our best to remind you, but it is ultimately your responsibility to keep up on your appointments. We ask that you arrive a few minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time, to allow time for paperwork, etc. We also ask that you give us 48-hours notice if you need to cancel and/or reschedule your appointment so we can make the necessary adjustments to the schedule to accommodate another patient. Failure to do so may result in a $60 charge and, in some cases, you may be charged 10% of the total fee for the treatment that was scheduled, as it is sometimes difficult to fill the schedule at the last minute. Please note: Your appointment time may occasionally be changed slightly and, if that is necessary, you will be notified and given a chance to respond if the request is not going to work with your schedule. We will require updates in your health history every six months, however, it is also your responsibility to notify us if there are any changes in the interim—this includes medications, operations, accidents, change in health, etc. Everything must be disclosed for your safety and, at times, we may need a medical clearance from your treating physician prior to any dental treatment being rendered.
______ FINANCIAL POLICY/PAYMENT: Your financial responsibility will be determined before treatment begins, and is due and payable, in full, at the time services are rendered—unless other arrangements have been made. This includes treatment for crowns, bridges, implants, veneers, dentures, and partial dentures- whether or not the final restoration has been delivered. If you have dental insurance, we will estimate your portion as close as possible with the information we are given by your insurance carrier. Please note: Your estimated portion is only an estimate, as we cannot guarantee what or if your insurance carrier will pay. If the claim for your treatment is denied for some reason, you will be responsible for the entire fee for the services rendered and denied, at our usual and customary office fee. We offer a no-interest or extended (with interest) plan through Care Credit if you need financing. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover- as well as debit and Apple Pay. Personal checks will be at our discretion and, if the check is returned, a $75 fee will assessed to your account. Accounts 60 days or more past due are subject to a 1.5% fee monthly. In the event legal proceedings are initiated to collect for services rendered, please note you and/or responsible party will be liable for all costs incurred including attorney fees, court costs, collection fees, outside collection agency fees, lab fees, any interest accrued, fees for certified mail, and Doctor and/or staff time at the rate of $150 per hour. You give South Bay Dental Esthetics permission to contact your employer to verify employment and insurance information.
______ XRAYS: Expect to have xrays taken at least once per year, as they are necessary for diagnostic purposes. Xrays may reveal a problem that is not able to be seen during a visual exam. Individual radiographs may also be needed at any given appointment, which will be determined by clinical signs and symptoms. Implant, Periodontal, and Adolescent patients may require more frequent xrays. Certain procedures also warrant additional xrays and dental carriers require submission of additional or specific xrays to process your claim. Keep in mind-the xrays are digital and your exposure to radiation during them is very minimal. We follow the ALARA Principal (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) to maintain your exposure and safety.
______ HIPPA: You may inspect or copy the Protected Health Information we have on file for you. This information can also be revoked, with a written-signed request. **Please list all persons with whom we may discuss your Protected Health Information with, including parents/legal guardians if the patient is under 18:

______ MSDS: Material Safety Data Sheets are available to you at your request, and are supplied by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Association). They cover the basics of the products you may be exposed to at your visit-they include, but are not limited to: ingredients, handling/storage, protection, and what to do in case of accidental exposure or adverse reaction.
COMMUNICATION: Please initial one or more options below, giving us permission as a way to communicate with you:

We may contact you at your home number

We may contact you on your cellular phone: Verbally Text Message

We may contact you at your place of business

We may send you an email

We ask that you notify the office of any changes in address, phone, or email, so that we are able to communicate with you effectively. Also let us know if there are any disclosure restrictions or privacy requests you would like us to adhere to, including opting out of text message communication, etc.:
