It’s perfectly natural for patients to show some trepidation ahead of orthodontic treatment due to financial concerns. Not all practices foster trust—but Johnston Orthodontics works very hard to do just that. We’re going to discuss some of the ways financing and insurance make orthodontics affordable in Baytown.
Easier Insurance: Maximizing Benefits
Our practice has a very important belief—that financial concerns should never stand in the way of the smile you want and deserve. One way we make this a reality is by working with all dental insurance providers.
We also take many steps on your behalf to make your experience with insurance run smoothly by:
- Verifying your insurance benefits and explaining your coverage in clear terms.
- Handling all claim filings on your behalf so you don’t have to deal with the paperwork.
- Maximizing your benefits to reduce your out-of-pocket costs as much as possible.
Building Affordability with Financing
Orthodontic treatment is an investment, but it doesn’t need to be a significant financial burden on you and your family. By offering flexible payment options for new patients, Johnston Orthodontics makes financing far less intimidating.
- In-House Financing: With our custom payment plans, you can spread out the cost of your treatment over a longer period of time. We’ll work with you to create a custom plan that aligns with your financial situation, ensuring you’re equipped with manageable monthly payments.
- CareCredit: CareCredit is a popular health and wellness credit line that also allows you to finance your orthodontic treatment over a fixed period. This option makes it easy to break payments into more affordable installments, often with little to no interest.
- Cash, Check, or Credit Card Payments: We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover, providing you with another convenient way to pay for your orthodontic care.
- Paid-in-Full Discount: If you’re looking to save money upfront, we offer a discount for patients who pay in full at the beginning of their treatment.
- HSA/FSA Payments: If you have a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA), you can absolutely use these funds to pay for your orthodontic treatment. This modern tax-free option helps you maximize your budget while investing in your smile.
- Automatic Monthly Payments: To make your payment process even easier, our team can set up automatic monthly withdrawals from your bank account, so you never have to worry about missing a payment.
