Financial
Dr. Shok strives to provide quality orthodontics at a fair price. The fee for treatment is based on the complexity of your condition and the estimated length of treatment. We realize that orthodontic care can be a major expense, and you will be glad to know that we tailor your payments to fit your individual requirements.
Visa, MasterCard and Discover payments are accepted. Interest-free, no down payment financing options are available through the Meadville Area Federal Credit Union and CareCredit. We also offer an in-house monthly payment plan. We offer a discount to multiple family members in treatment and to patients who pay in full at the start of treatment. We thoroughly explain your options, so that we can accommodate your needs.
Insurance
If your insurance covers orthodontic treatment, you will receive the benefit of reduced personal costs. Many insurance policies have a lifetime orthodontic benefit that is distinct from regular dental insurance. Remember that insurance policies vary, and we will review your insurance to determine the appropriate course of action. Once treatment has started, we will be happy to complete and process all your paper work to maximize your benefits.
To help us with your insurance filing, please complete the insurance questions on our questionnaire. We are a preferred provider of MetLife, Delta Dental of Pennsylvania and DenteMax.
Please remember that orthodontic insurance is a benefit for you or your child. If, during the course of treatment, your benefits change, the financially responsible party is accountable for all charges.
