Scheduling Information
The office is open Monday - Friday from 8 am until 4 pm. We will schedule your appointment as promptly as possible. If you have pain or an emergency situation, every attempt will be made to see you that day. We kindly ask that no food or drink be brought to the office, for the courtesy of our surgical patients who may be fasting.
Because we value your time and want to make your visit with us as enjoyable as possible, we need certain information from you. Having your patient registration and medical history filled out in advance is greatly appreciated. We also request that you bring all insurance information with you to ensure that you receive the maximum benefit from your coverage, and ensure timely and accurate claims submission to your carriers. If you received a referral slip and x-ray from your dentist, bringing it with you will help us optimize your care. It is also necessary to bring a list of your current medications.
We try our best to stay on schedule to minimize your waiting. Due to the fact that we provide surgical services, various circumstances may lengthen the time allocated for a procedure. Emergency cases can also arise and cause delays. We appreciate your understanding and patience.
Please call (812) 944-4000 in New Albany or (812) 734-0124 in Corydon, with any questions or to schedule.
Insurance and Financial Information
Our practice strives to treat our patients with the best possible care under all circumstances. We are committed to offer you a range of treatment possibilities, when appropriate, and can often tailor these options to best fit your needs and wishes.
Many questions arise during the examination and treatment process regarding our financial policy and the role of dental and medical insurance in your care. While we will be glad to submit a claim to your insurance, this does not necessarily mean that our office “participates” with that company. We strongly encourage you to determine if our office is a participating provider prior to your examination or surgery. Please let us know immediately if you have any questions or concerns about finances.
To file an insurance claim on your behalf, we kindly request that you provide your insurance information in advance of your appointment. If this information is not available, payment is due in full at the time of service. We accept cash, personal checks, debit cards, Visa, MasterCard, Discover and CareCredit. CareCredit is a health care credit program offered to patients by an independent company. This allows payment over time, and only takes a few minutes to apply and determine eligibility (our financial coordinators can help you apply). We gladly offer pre-treatment estimates. Please be aware that this is an estimate only, and charges may actually be higher or lower, depending on the nature of your procedure. A $25 charge plus bank fees will be assessed for any returned check.
Insurance companies often differ in their policies regarding coverage of services that a doctor’s office may provide. For this reason, your policy may require you (the subscriber) to pay nothing, a deductible, co-pay,co-insurance or may require you to pay for the entire procedure or consultation, depending on the policy language. Please be aware that your policy is a contract between you and the insurance company, not James K. Homrighausen, D.M.D. While we will gladly file a claim on your behalf, you are ultimately responsible for charges incurred. If your insurance company does not pay your claim within thirty days, the payment becomes your responsibility.
We appreciate the opportunity to care for you, and encourage you to contact us if you have any questions regarding your policy.
