Fee-for-Service Approach

We believe in transparent and patient-centered billing practices. While we operate as a fee-for-service practice, we’ll provide the necessary documentation to help you file for reimbursement with your PPO medical insurance plan. If you have questions, our team is here to guide you through the process and ensure clarity every step of the way.

Financing Options

We believe in transparent and patient-centered billing practices. We are an out-of-network provider with insurance companies, and payment for treatment is collected at the time of service. As a courtesy, we will submit a claim to your insurance company and attempt to obtain any required prior authorizations for your treatment. You may be reimbursed directly from your insurance company based on your available benefits. Reimbursement amounts and timelines vary by plan, so we recommend contacting your insurance provider before your visit to ask about your out-of-network benefits. If you have questions, our team is here to guide you through the process and ensure clarity every step of the way.

My experience with Dr. Hammer and his team was outstanding. From start to finish, he was incredibly informative and supportive, clearly explaining each step of the process and ensuring I felt comfortable throughout. I underwent upper jaw surgery, and the results have been life-changing. Not only did it correct my bite deformity, but it also gave a significant boost to my self-confidence. I’m more than satisfied with the outcome and grateful for a smooth recovery
