As an out-of-network, fee for service provider, we do not file dental or medical insurance claims. However, we will provide you with documentation to file your claims as allowed by our non-contracted status.

​

You are responsible for the full fees charged by our office, regardless of your insurance coverage. Typically, insurance companies respond to claims within four to six weeks and reimburse you according to your policy. We ask you to Please keep us updated on any changes to your insurance plan.

 

Regarding payment from your insurance company: When it comes to insurance payments, you're reimbursed directly. If, by chance, the insurance company issues a payment to our practice instead of you, we'll promptly return the check to them for reissuance directly to you. Sometimes, insurance companies make administrative errors that may delay your reimbursement, but rest assured, we're happy to help you navigate through any challenges.

​

Medical Insurance: If you have questions or concerns regarding medical insurance, we are happy to assist based on your individual policies. 

​

Please note: Dr. Gallagher is an Opted-Out provider with Medicare (meaning neither Dr. Gallagher nor the insured member/patient can file for any services provided by Dr. Gallagher). Prior to treatment, Medicare patients are required to sign the Medicare Opt-Out notice. We will discuss this prior to scheduling your appointment.
