Payment Agreement

Patients with Medical/Dental Insurance

Most health insurance plans will not pay for the entire cost of your care. Our trained staff will gladly assist you in filing your claim so that you may receive the maximum allowable benefits for your treatment and reduce your out of pocket costs. Insurance plans vary considerably and your coverage may be reduced by a number of plan policies. These may include yearly deductibles, co-payments, a dollar limit for covered services, a yearly allowance for required x-rays, a yearly maximum benefit amount and many other plan obligations.

Because we have no way of knowing with certainty exactly how much your insurance will pay toward your bill we will estimate your portion based on the information we have at this time. It is our policy to inform you of the total cost of treatment and collect all estimated patient payments prior to the administration of anesthetic agents. Our office accepts cash, checks, all major credit cards, debit cards and selected health credit cards. Ultimately, financial obligations for treatment are your responsibility and all accounts are to be paid in full within one month (30 days) regardless of your insurance status.

In the event that you do not receive the benefits to which you believe you are entitled from your insurance carrier, we suggest that you contact your carrier and your employee benefits representative to request the appropriate professional review. If we can be any assistance to you in these endeavors, we will make every effort to do so.

Patients Paying with Personal Checks

Please note that due to the number of bad checks our practice has received recently, our office participates in the Shelby County District Attorney General Office’s Hot Check Program.

The District Attorney’s office has stated that bad checks written for medical/dental services and insurance co-payments are a criminal act and offenders will be arrested and prosecuted. Our office will automatically forward all bad checks over to the DA’s office for action.

I am fully responsible for services rendered by Center for Oral and Facial Surgery of Memphis, PLLC. If collection costs are incurred to collect my account, I will pay the additional charge and all court costs and attorney’s fees associated with the collection of the balance.

Assignment and release: I hereby authorize my insurance benefits to be paid directly to the surgeon.

CONSENT FORM

PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT AND FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE BEFORE YOUR SURGERY.

You have the right to be informed about your diagnosis and planned surgery so that you may make a decision whether to undergo the procedure after knowing the risk and hazards.

POSSIBLE (but not limited to) COMPLICATIONS TO ORAL SURGERY

SWELLING, BRUISING AND PAIN – These can occur with any surgery and vary from patient to patient and from one surgery to another.

TRISMUS - This is a limited opening of the mouth due to inflammation and/or swelling in the muscles. This is most common with impacted tooth removal, but it is possible with almost any surgery. It can last from a few days to several weeks.

INFECTION – This is possible with any surgical procedure and may require further surgery and/or medications in the event it does occur.

BLEEDING – Although significant bleeding can occur during or after surgery, it is not common. Some bleeding is, however, usual for most surgeries and is normally controlled by following the post-operative instructions.

DRUG REACTION – A reaction is possible from any medication given and could include nausea, rash or other allergic reactions.

TMJ DYSFUNCTION – This means that the joint of the jaw (TMJ) may not function properly, although rare, any required treatment ranging from moist heat and rest to joint surgery.

DRY SOCKET – This is significant pain in the jaw and/or ear due to loss of the blood clot and most commonly occur after the removal of lower wisdom teeth, but it is possible with an extraction. This may require additional office visits to treat.

DAMAGE TO OTHER FILLINGS AND/OR TEETH – Due to the close proximity of the teeth, it is possible to damage other teeth as well as fillings when a tooth is removed.

SHARP RIDGES OR BONE SPLINTERS – Occasionally, after an extraction, the edge of the socket will be sharp, or a bone splinter will come out through the gum. This may require another surgery to smooth or remove the bone splinter.

INCOMPLETE REMOVAL OF TOOTH FRAGMENTS – There are times the doctor may decide to leave a fragment of root of a tooth in order to avoid doing damage to adjacent structures such as nerves, sinuses, etc.

JAW FRACTURE – This is an extremely rare occurrence, but can happen if certain conditions exist, such as a tooth in an extremely thin jaw or in an elderly patient with brittle bones, etc.

WOMEN OF CHILDBEARING AGE – After your surgery you may be prescribed an antibiotic. Studies have shown that women who take birth control pills and antibiotics at the same time may become pregnant. Antibiotics may make birth control pills not work for up to one month after your next cycle.

UNUSUAL COMPLICATIONS – Occasionally complications occur that are exceeding rare during surgery. Such complications are also possible during oral and maxillofacial surgery.

LOWER TEETH

NUMBNESS – Due to proximity of roots of the lower teeth to the nerve of feeling to the lower lip, teeth, gums, and tongue, it is possible to bruise or damage the nerve with the removal of a tooth. This would cause numbness that could last for a few days to several months and rarely but possibly permanent numbness. The affected area, such as the lip, the tongue or the chin, could feel numb, tingly, or have a slight burning sensation.

UPPER TEETH

SINUS INVOLVEMENT – Due to the location of the roots (especially the upper molars) to the sinuses, it is possible for an opening to develop from the sinus to the mouth, or a root may be displaced into the sinus. This may require medication and/or additional surgery.

ANESTHESIA

LOCAL ANESTHESIA – Certain possible risks exist which, although uncommon or rare, could include pain, swelling, bruising, infection, nerve damage, or unusual or allergic reaction.

GENERAL ANESTHESIA/IV SEDATION – Certain possible risks exist which although uncommon, could include nausea, pain, and swelling. Complications could include Phelbitis (vein inflammation) and allergic or unusual drug reactions.

THIS DISCLOSURE IS NOT MEANT TO ALARM OR FRIGHTEN YOU. IT IS SIMPLY AN EFFORT ON OUR PART TO MAKE YOU BETTER INFORMED SO THAT YOU MAY KNOWLEDGEABLY GIVE OR WITH HOLD YOUR CONSENT TO THE SURGERY.

PATIENT NAME:________________________________________________________

I hereby authorize Dr. Staples/Dr. Breit/Dr. Meekins/ Dr. Majekodunmi to perform the following:_____ _______________________________________________________________________
