To the best of my knowledge, all of the preceding answers and information provided are true and correct. If I ever have any changes in my health, I will inform the doctors at the next appointment without fail.

Name of Insured:

Secondary
Name of Insured:

I authorize my insurance to pay the dentist or dental group all insurance benefits otherwise payable to me for services rendered. I authorize the use of this signature of all insurance submissions. I authorize the dentist to release all information necessary to secure the payment of benefits. I understand that I am financially responsible for all charges whether or not paid by insurance.

I authorize Dr. Mark A. Baker and/or such associates or assistants as s/he may designate to perform those procedures as may be deemed necessary or advisable to maintain my dental health or the dental health of any minor or other individual for which I have responsibility, including arrangement and/or administration of any sedative (including nitrous oxide), analgesic, therapeutic, and/or other pharmaceutical agent(s), including those related to restorative, palliative, therapeutic or surgical treatments. I understand that the administration of local anesthetic may cause an untoward reaction or side effects, which may include, but are not limited to bruising, hematoma, cardiac stimulation, muscle soreness, and temporary or rarely, permanent numbness. I understand that occasionally needles break and may require surgical retrieval. Occasionally drops of local anesthetic may contact the eyes and facial tissues and cause temporary irritation. I understand that as part of the dental treatment, including preventive procedures such as cleanings and basic dentistry, including fillings of all types, teeth may remain sensitive or even possibly quite painful both during and after completion of treatment. Dental materials and medications may trigger allergic or sensitivity reactions. After lengthy appointments, jaw muscles may also be sore or tender. Holding one’s mouth open can, in a predisposed patient, precipitate a TMJ disorder. Gums and surrounding tissues may also be sensitive or painful during and/or after treatment. Although rare, it is also possible for the tongue, cheek or other oral tissues to be inadvertently abraded or lacerated (cut) during routine dental procedures. In some cases, sutures or additional treatment may be required. I understand that as part of dental treatment items including, but not limited to crowns, small dental instruments, drill components, etc. may be aspirated (inhaled into the respiratory system) or swallowed. This unusual situation may require a series of x-rays to be taken by a physician or hospital and may, in rare cases, require bronchoscopy or other procedures to ensure safe removal. I understand the need to disclose to the dentist any prescription drugs that are currently being taken or that have been taken in the past. I understand that taking the class of drugs prescribed for the prevention of osteoporosis, such as Fosamax, Boniva or Actonel, may result in complications of non-healing of the jaw bones following oral surgery or tooth extractions. I do voluntarily assume any and all reasonable medical/dental risks, including the substantial and significant risk of serious harm, if any, which may be associated with any phase of standard dental preventive and operative treatment procedures in hopes of obtaining the potential desired results, which may or may not be achieved, for my benefit or the benefit of my minor child or ward. I acknowledge that the nature and purpose of the foregoing procedures have been explained to me if necessary and I have been given the opportunity to ask questions.

As a condition of your treatment by this office, financial arrangements must be made in advance. The practice depends upon the reimbursement from the patients for the costs incurred in their care and financial responsibility on the part of each patient must be determined before treatment.

All emergency dental services, or any dental services performed without previous financial arrangements, must be paid for in cash at the time the services are performed.

Patients who carry dental insurance understand that all dental services furnished are charged directly to the patient and that he or she is personally responsible for payment of all dental services. This office will help prepare the patients insurance forms or assist in making collections from insurance companies and will credit any such collections to the patients account. However, this dental office cannot render services on the assumption that our charges will be paid for by an insurance company.

A service charge at a fixed rate of 1.5% per month and 18% annually of the unpaid balance as of the last day of each month will be assessed and added to the balance on all accounts exceeding (30) thirty days from the date of service, unless previous written financial arrangements are made. I understand that the fee estimate listed for this dental care can only be extended for a period of six months from the date of the patient examination.

In consideration for the professional services rendered to me, or at my request, to my minor child, or ward by the Doctor, I agree to pay therefore the reasonable value of said services to said Doctor, or his assignee, at the time said services are rendered, or within five (5) days of billing if credit shall be extended by the Doctor. In the event my account becomes delinquent, I agree to pay remaining balance plus, up to 50%, to whom a delinquent account is turned for collection, in addition to reasonable attorney fees and court costs where such legal services are necessary. I authorize the release of financially identifiable information concerning my account, including charges billed, payments made, and interest charges assessed, etc. to the dentist’s collections agency or collection attorney should collections procedures as described becomes necessary.

I grant permission to you or your assignee, to telephone me at home or at my work to discuss matters related to this form. I also agree to let this office leave messages concerning appointments and/or results on my answering machine or with a family member.

This agreement supersedes all prior agreements signed, including any and all mediation or mediation/arbitration agreements. I acknowledge that any prior mediation or mediation/arbitration agreements signed previously related to financial arrangements or quality care is null and void.

I authorize the doctor or his designees to release financially identifiable information and treatment descriptions and information, either electronically, by facsimile, or in paper form to my insurance carrier or any related entities that require such information to be submitted.

I acknowledge that I have received a copy of this office’s Privacy Policies, I agree to disclose to the Doctor names of any individuals with whom I authorize the Doctor to discuss my care.

I certify that I have answered all questions on both sides of this form accurately and to the best of my knowledge. I have read the above conditions of treatment and payment and agree to their content. I hereby agree to abide by the conditions outlined herein.

24 HOUR CANCELLATION POLICY: If your miss, cancel or change your appointment with less than 24 hours notice, you will be charged $50 per hour for a hygiene appointment and $75 per hour for a Doctor appointment.
