Dental insurance is a contract between you and your insurance company. Our team is very knowledgeable with regards to coverage profiles, but it is impossible for us to keep up with the ever- changing industry of dental insurance. It is very important for you, as the patient, to understand your insurance coverage.
Co-pays are due on the day your treatment is rendered. Co-pays are an estimate of your total treatment cost and your insurance coverage.
As a courtesy to our patients, Ad Astra will be happy to file your dental insurance claim on your behalf. Please provide an updated insurance card with group and subscriber information to verify eligibility and to correctly submit your claim.
Ad Astra accepts cash, check, Visa, Mastercard, Discover and Care Credit. If utilizing a verified insurance benefit, co-pay and deductible are due on the day your treatment is rendered. Patients are responsible for all costs of dental treatment.
