Financial Policy

We are committed to providing our patients with the best possible care. Your understanding of our financial policy is important to our professional relationship. Please ask us if you have any questions about our fees or your financial responsibility. The University of Michigan School of Dentistry is committed to complying with all federal, state and local laws regulating rules and professional regulatory body guidelines that involve delivery and payment of dental services.

In order to provide the best possible dental care at the lowest cost, it is requested that payment be made for all services as they are performed unless payment arrangements are made prior to treatment.

MINORS ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT

 

The parent or guardian accompanying a minor patient will be responsible for signing the minor’s consent and agreement form. The parent or guardian, by signing, assumes the financial responsibility for treatment rendered to the minor until he or she is emancipated or has reached the age of eighteen. Once the minor is emancipated or has turned eighteen, he or she is financially responsible for any treatment received.
