Insurance and payment
Short answer: Czarkowski Pediatric Dentistry says it is in network with several dental PPO plans, accepts most insurances including Hoosier Healthwise (Indiana Medicaid), and offers CareCredit financing[1][2].
Which insurance does the practice say it accepts?
The practice says it is in network with several dental PPO plans and accepts most insurances, including Hoosier Healthwise, which it describes as Indiana Medicaid[1]. Its insurance page says the office is in network for most PPO insurances and for Medicaid/Hoosier Healthwise[2]. The practice does not list plan names on these pages, so ask the office whether a specific plan is accepted.
How does the practice handle claims?
The practice says it will collect insurance information on the day of the appointment, file claims electronically as a service to parents, and collect the estimated amount insurance is not expected to pay[2]. It says it does not have a contract with the family’s insurance company, that it can help estimate the family’s portion and provide procedure codes, and that it cannot guarantee what an insurer will do with a claim[2].
What does the practice say about balances?
The practice says families are responsible for any balance after 30 days, whether or not insurance has paid, and that it will refund money if an insurer pays it[2]. It also states that, by law, an insurer is required to pay each claim within 30 days of receipt[2]; this wiki has not checked that statement.
How can families pay?
The practice says it accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, cash, personal checks and debit cards and offers patient financing through CareCredit[1]. Its home page also links to an online payment portal[3].
What should families tell the office?
The practice asks families to keep it informed of changes to the policy name, the insurance company address or employment[2] and to bring insurance information to the appointment[2].
